I bought several pairs of Audioquest Diamondback cables from a Best Buy store. They were on clearance and marked 50% off, so I bought several pairs at $79.99 a pair plus tax. I have 2 extra pairs and the length is 1.0 meters. They're brand new in the box with the original covers still on the RCA ends.

I'd like to get what I paid for them but I will ship for free anywhere in the CONUS 48 w/no paypal fee. $80 shipped. PM me if you're interested. Thanks.

    Hey miner, I'm going to leave those King Cobra's where they are... between my preamp and amp. Appreciate the sweet deal you gave me on those!

    These Diamondbacks will replace some sidewinders between my CDP and Preamp.

    That's where I'm running my King Cobras, too, between my preamp and amp. And I'm also using my Diamondbacks between sources and pre. :cool:

    That's funny, as I'm also running Cobra's from pre to amp...the D-backs will be replacing G-snakes running from my cdp to pre.

    The Diamondbacks should be a noticeable improvement over the G-Snakes, which I think are just as bad as what comes with the box. The worst Audioquest entry level cable ever, no offense.

    None taken Doro and even though my ears aren't golden, I'm betting you're right...the G-snakes will likely find their way to replace some WTB cables that are still resident in my HT rig. At some point I'd also like to try some Signal silvers and Ben's, but that'll be a few more $$$ and another thread down the road...

    Stick with the AQ backend for your gear, keep it in synergy with the King Cobra's you already have. I don't have golden ears but I know a bad cable and don't worry about Signal or otherwise at this point.

    Hey, you did me a favor, too. Sorry the Rotel did not work out for you.

    No worries. I got to demo a piece of gear I'd wanted to try and then sold it for essentially no loss to guy who loved it. Worked out great!
