Audioquest : A Haven for the Hardcore Enthusiast

by marc klink

    There was a time when Audioquest was a lowly competitor to Monster, mostly because Monster got there first, and had better PR.

    Today, Monster produces all manner of things, but as a customer, one is not sure that the utmost care is used in manufacture or that research is as big a part of the budget as it once was. Back in the heady days of M-1 and M-1000, it was easily seen that much of what was spent was returned to the customer in quality cabling.

    Audioquest is a purveyor of the same types of products as Monster, and a casual look at the line up on their website reveals a commitment to quality, now as then.

    From the bottom of the line interconnect to the top of the line speaker cable, each step produces a visible gain in quality and produces confidence in the purchase.

    For most, the purchase of mid to high end products from this company would produce little change in a system, but the knowledge that the purchase was quality that would need no replacement through several upgrades of equipment, and greater resolution of detail would be greatly comforting.

    The accessories line will produce great results for almost anyone. The sorbothane feet will made a difference in sound immediately when used to isolate optical components from room vibrations. The bi-wire speaker jumpers, and amp-preamp jumpers will make small, but significant differences when replacing standard stuff that comes with those products.

    The high quality glass and plastic cleaner looks like it could be put to great use by anyone who cares about their audio, video, computer, or portable products.

    The ability to order S-video cables, or component video cables, in almost any multiple of 0.5 meters is reason enough to visit the company’s pages to either purchase online, or find a dealer near you for audition of these fine cables.

    These cables are of such quality that you could, with careful use, find yourself bequeathing them to your favorite heirs.

Give them a look, a listen, and then look at the prices. Some may astound you, but many will pleasantly surprise, as they are a great value at the price.
