Review on AudioQuest Big Sur Mini To Mini 0 6M by Tara Laven

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Then I thought I might as well try Audioquest Big Sur mini to mini with better copper conductor

I'm so tired of hearing people say that cables don't matter for sound quality, and while always knowing they were wrong. After testing the Fiio L17 cable on Cardas and Audioquest Tower, I found that they were VERY WRONG. Even with the humble Sansa Clip Jam, Aune B1 and Sennheiser HD558, the sound difference between all cables was absolute. Then I thought I could try connecting an Audioquest Big Sur mini to a mini with a better quality copper conductor and believe me, these cables showed a subtle beauty in my music that wasn't apparent before, even with an Audioquest Tower or evergreen. For music enjoyment, I would wish for nothing less than the Audioquest Big Sur. If you're on a budget, at least buy a budget Audioquest cable. Fiio cables are rubbish compared to Audioquest. ********** I ended up trying the next step, calling Sydney and now I'm back on Big Sur and keeping the Sydney cable. The Sydney has a significant bass boost and is very smooth and refined. I haven't tested the two cables side-by-side enough to uncover significant technical differences, but I like the overall sound of the Sydney cable better with my current system.

Pros
  • Noticeable sound improvement over standard mini cables
Cons
  • Long wait
