Got another firesale deal here.

$650, Audioquest Aspen 5 ft single single with bananas on both ends.

From Magnolia.

Can’t find a deal like this, this will sell either here or through my local Audiphile group.

Google the price on the piece, nothing on audiogon has been listed at this price.

    Your group is a bunch of rich audioholics, and they bite crazily fast.

    Yep, when the guy is considering a Kimber Speaker Cable for $35K, he is just wanting to dump things out quick. Tried to stop him, but nope. I will just go along for the ride.

    Might still be for sale... or I might just sell to my brother. Last call for interest.

    On paper this seems to be a great deal... what level of gear would one have to have to enjoy the benefits of this cable? Open question here... as many of us don't play in the same field as Joey. Would this really make a difference feeding my LSiM 705s? Or would this warrant new speakers also?
