AudioQuest Sub cables

[fernalfer]

I have an SVS Cylinder Sub. I hear alot of people say these cables make a world of difference in the sound of your sub. But i'm not convinced and the price is a real turnoff. Any thoughts?

Waste of money. Monoprice or Blue Jeans Cable or any decent cable will work just fine.

You should read this then you have some time:

But TL;DR; - Expensive cables = snake oill.

Any cheap Shielded (RG59) cable would be sufficient

There are some cables that alter the sound. They either include filters or high capacitance or high inductance construction. Audioquest is not one of them. No sonic affect whatsoever.

Over-rated and overpriced. There's a lot of hoopla in this hobby.

I use these and they work fine. Solid construction, good shielding amd the length I need. The three important factors here.

BTW, any audio interconnect will work well here. If you've got some lying around, use 'em.

At two meters, almost any coax will sound the same. But for long cables, that AudioQuest is a very poor design.

LMFAO is all I have to say. That "lot of people" are wrong.

AQ DOES have cables that have batteries attached to the shield. I've tried them. They do nothing.

I use Bluejeans for all my cables now and have had zero complaints in years, even though I do still have some AQ cables in the system as well.

Like already stated, over priced cable. Any basic shielded cable will do the trick and you can get them for 1/10th of the price.

You are correct.

My recommendation is to use a balanced cable for longer runs where noise is picked up by the shield.

Bill Whitlock, AES committee chair on EMI/RFI would say just the opposite!
