Looking for opinions on the Audioquest King Cobra interconnect. Have you tired this cable? What kind of results did you get? Would use this between a Hovland HP-100 tube preamp and a NAD C 275BEE SS amp. Thanks.
IMO, I agree with Griggs..I ran it for a short time until I had $$ , its an entry level cable @ $75 bucks new on ebay .Would only buy if money is a real issue.
Missioncoonery - Perhaps these $75 on ebay plays negative placebo effect on you? It was called Python before and costed about $400 (great reviews). I replaced it with same type (XLR) and same length (0.5m) Acoustic Zen Absolute (not too many ICs better than that) and can tell you that difference is not that big. Of course Absolute is cleaner and more refined but King Cobra has similar nice neutral balance and is a steal for what it costs IMHO.
Ya get what ya pay for(most of the time).Its an entry level cable and it sounded that way in my system..If it works for you ,great!Im happy for you..I would never recommend that cable reguardless of the price point, especially from his Hovland pre which Ive heard and like alot...Just silly, but thats my opinion
Ya get what ya pay for(most of the time). Well... that is especially not true when it comes to the new Q Cable interconnect that I just bought. It was only $325 and it immediately took over the primary position in my system. It replaced a $3500 Purist Proteus that I thought I would never replace. So, if your budget can cover 325, you might want to test them out on a 15 day trial.
