I had a cable from a well-known but not expensive company. I decided to buy this one because I heard and saw many things, but they said that the cable doesn't make a difference. I inform you that at least for me, it worked as they said. Based on the rest of the equipment, I feel like I changed the equipment to perfection. I won't even discuss the construction and quality, just by holding the box you understand what kind of product you have. I knew that Audioquest is one of the best cable companies, but I didn't believe it until I saw and experienced it myself. So, if you have a decent hifi system, don't waste your money on random cables here and there. Look into it with the cables. For the price it costs, I don't think there is anything better.
