thanks michael!
I will ask the dealer is they would let me audition them... I too have seen an improvement over monster. I just think in the future I am not going to spend a great deal of $ on cables. The internal wiring of most components is average no thrill copper wiring, so its hard to see the justification of expensive cables connecting gear. I can see the importance of quality copper purity, solid termination and RCA quality with good insulation. Monster cable has these features, however is pricey. I am not sure of the validity, but Audioquest claims they terminate the RCA's by welding them. Maybe that makes a differnece, I know the strength of a weld far surpasses that of a simple solder. With saying all that I would definatley consider the audioquest diamond back interconnect. Not to expensive and they get the job done....alex
