Review on 🔊 High-Quality AudioQuest X-2 Bulk Speaker Cable - 14 AWG 30' (9m) Spool - Gray Jacket by Marc Salem

, lately I've been bitten by the "audiophile” virus; has suffered from a love of music and video since the 1960s. Good for me, I don't have much money for this hobby, so I have to learn from others' mistakes, advice or examples. Some richer people can easily buy millions a year. I wouldn't want to be him anyway. I rather admire the efficiency. I started with an Onkyo TX RZ810 receiver (max system 7.2.2.) and Pioneer Elite SP-EBS73 Andrew Jones Home Audio bookshelf speakers (I have front left, center and front right) - three channels and a subwoofer. The logical choice was an Audioquest Type 4 speaker cable and Audioquest Vodka HDMI and Ethernet connections. It sounded great to me. I didn't go too low (Media Bridge, Monster, or Revain Basics) because if you plan on going high but start too low, you have a VERY long way to go on your journey. So try to plan as far in advance as possible so you know which direction you are headed. So I carefully read everything on the internet on the subject and found that audiophiles - both reviewers and users - believe that the Audioquest Type-4 was a classic for hi-fi systems. Of course, Type-4s are indeed budget audiophiles, but still of audiophile quality. I switched to Type-4 (mid 2014) and felt that what I was hearing on my system was correct (warmth, clarity, no hiss) according to educated opinions. Since then I have heard little less of the sheer superiority of the Type 4, neither from experts nor from my own ears. So it's 2021, I have a Marantz SR6015 with ELAC UNI-FI and SVS subwoofers and now my system is 7.2. 4. Of course I still like the Audioquest Type-4 which now covers the front left/right, center and surround left/right channels. Also, the front L/R height is Type 4. I have seven speakers with Type 4 cable and four with X2 (11 total). Both subwoofers are connected via Audioquest Boxer RCA. All speakers 13 total. Now you might be wondering what the point of all this talk about Type 4 speaker wire is: Audioquest X2 speaker wire is semi-rigid, concentric (twisted), 14 AWG, and has only PVC (polyvinyl chloride) as the dielectric (insulation). ) ). Type-4 is solid long-grain copper, 15 AWG, polyethylene foam insulation, star quad geometry, and carbon-based noise dissipation (a serious combination of technology and insulation). The Type-4 was a huge hit with audiophiles. It has taken Audioquest decades to "improve" this combo for Type-4 and it will be Type-5 as a Type-4 replacement with slightly better metal and conductors and Type-4 is still popular and very, very good . acoustic cable. Let me tell you, I bought this 50 foot Audioquest X2 cable, cut it in half and bought Audioquest Series 507 silver banana plugs to run it alone for surround back left/right and surround back L/R make. I needed two 50ft X2 coils and four 507 series banana plugs, 4 each. At first I tried using the Audioquest Series 300 banana but it failed me and fell apart in use. After many hours of listening I can't hear any difference in my system front to back and back. I have achieved the perfect synergy of Audioquest Boxer RCA, Audioquest Type-4 and Audioquest X2 speaker cables. May be, . . . Quality speakers like the Audioquest Rocket series, Folk Heroes, and Mythical Creatures offer "better" playback quality. It's hard to get too far up the ladder of the various components in Audioquest. I'm happy with what I have in Type-4 and X2. For me I don't hear anything bad about music or movies and I feel like the Type-4 and X2 have synergy and fit well with any mid-range system. with frank amplifiers and speakers.
