    Airplay,

    I am currently using a 1 meter AQ G-Snake interconnect (about $25.00) in my headphone system. To be honest, I really don't think it is an improvement over, for example, Radio Shack's Gold Series interconnects or Acoustic Research's Performance Series interconnects. I think these interconnects will be a better value than the AQ ones. For a tiny bit more money, AR's Pro Series would be even better.

    Although they have been discontinued, you should check ebay for Radio Shack's Fusion A/V interconnects. I read nothing but positive responses on these. These were introduced at the beginning of the year and disappeared right away.

    I have to disagree with Danny. In the applications I've used them in the entry level AQ are better than anything by AR. I've never been impressed by anthing from AR and I've tried a few. The
    RS Gold are ok but they are no better than the G-snakes. Check out www.Audioadvisor.com for AQ cables.

    I second Shack's comments.....AA typically has real good prices on AQ. I am also not a fan of AR anything, but it's just personal.
