Audioquest WEL innerconnects are the older models the same as current model?


Hi all, I’ve tried AQ and like it, tried over cables like many people and thinking going back to AQ. A friend of mine has offered me some of is AQ WEL that are around 9 years old, would they be the same as a current set of WEL signature? If they are I’d be interested in trying them.

Regards .

Everest (for speakers), WEL XLR (IC), Hurricane (PC) and Diamond (for USB).. I'm a very big fan of AQ and I won't leave their boat soon!
The description comparing the WEL revisions is accurate - it's about the braid and the connectors as mulveling and folkfreak already wrote.
That's strange! I guess it must be system dependent... I've had the whole shabang: Panther, Cheetah, Sky, WBY and WEL and I've found WEL to have a lot of mid-bass (body) and bass and way more tonal richness and with these elements this cable should never be clinical, no matter how resolute it is. I have found the WBY to be a tad warmer but also a tad more light, airy and atmospheric while the WEL seems to be earthier, heavier, more punchy.
