[QUOTE="PearlJam, post: 97079, member: 824"] Thanks to Joel for arranging the afternoon. Apart from the mission at hand it was nice to meet some of the forumites, nice bunch of guys. We did a blind test with the typical R50 "gold-plated" generic cables vs an AudioQuest of about R3 500. Can't remember the model. I made notes as we compared the two cables with various tracks. It was clear to me that there was a difference between the two interconnects and I made notes on what the differences were on the tracks that I could hear them. There were tracks that I didn't hear any difference. In some instances it had a better controlled bottom-end and in others the soundstage were wider and then there was clarity that improved elsewhere. I can confirm that there is a difference between the cables, but it is so small (to my ears) that I would not be willing to spend any serious money on it. I would basically just buy for looks.
