Upgrade from AQ King Cobra to Columbia DBS

Samac, I just bought the 1M pair and have not yet received them. I will get back to you once I have listened to them. I went for the Columbia for they were the 1st in the DBS line, just above the KCs. At used prices, my cable outlay between pre and amp represents ~10% of my cost of both active components. Right or wrong, this is what I shoot for. I am not familiar with the Yukon.

Thanks, Mesch. I look forward to reading your impressions. I have different speakers now and I may demo the Columbias again. They are smooth and lively and might work better with the speakers I a using now.

Received and placed the Columbia cables into my system. I did not care to A-B then against the KCs, simply replaced and sold them. The result seems to be better imaging within soundstage and more 'air' around upper midrange/treble notes. I am happy. This represents the last piece to be exchanged in my system which took 3+ years to put together. Thanks all!

They are better in every single part compared to the KC's. Time for them to improve there cables.....

Yes. The DBS system is quite nice.
