Bah...I'm back to regular wire...sounds so yucky...

Thug your in for a treat dude...seriously... Very nice cables those Nordost... (can I keep them longer? PLEEEEEEEEEEASE!!! :p) ;)

Cant wait for my Signal Cables to get here now dangit...need to hurry it up! LOL

For those that dont believe in wire, you need to sign up for some cable demos....you might be surprised...I sure am...

This is double ouch...$$$ going down the drain

    I know what you mean. I tried Straightwire Chorus' and it only took about 10 seconds to realize I wanted my AQ Copperheads back in the system.

    Straightwire is a popular cable maker and the "Chorus" is one of their interconnects.

    I owned the Straight Wire Chorus 2m interconnects and I didn't like em. They went out as fast as they came in...

    Thats the same experience I had w/them. They sounded "hashy" to me; no seperation of instruments, and the high-end was grainy.

    I know what you mean Trey, I have a love / hate relationship with the Cable Demo Program. You play with better cables and you realized just how **** your cables where. I have since just fell in love with AudioQuest now own the Diamondbacks interconnects and the Bedrock speaker cables. So this hobby just never ends :)

    Don't worry, I'll just prove that what you heard was psychoacoustics and you can be happy again. ;)

    I think I am going to do the "Coral" thing, but later this year. I really hate to mess with success, I like the Copperheads.

    You'll like the Corals even better. I started with Copperheads and ended up with Corals where it matters most. I still have plenty of Copperheads on all three of the amps in my HT system and even on the sub. I got them from Audio Advisor's clearance section a while back. Still got Kimber Heros on the 2-channel system, though. Not very much difference at all between Corals and Heros, IMO.

    Is Corals & Hero’s part of Audioquest current lineup? If old lineup where do they fit in on the current lineup?

    Side note, as anyone compared Diamondbacks to Cobras to Jaguars.
