AQ Sub-3 sub cable owners experience(current and previous owners)

Hi all,
My dealer is selling a used AQ Sub-3 subwoofer cable and it has a 36v dbs pack attached to it. This is just to get some information and not a debate on sub cables. I'm only looking for those who have owned or still own this subwoofer cable and can tell me their experiences. I would like to know what kind of sound can one expect from this cable when hooked up to say an SVS SB13 Ultra sub? Is this cable solid over long runs( 25 feet or more)? Which end does the dbs pack plug in(preamp end or sub end)? Would this be a good choice as opposed to the new lineup of AQ subwoofer cables?  Thanks all in advance.

I also put a 72V dbs on my sub 3 cable when I owned it.

I can hear when one of the dbs-72c is not connected. I am not sure every one will hear it.

When you use a pair of cabels and one of the dbs-72v will have a problem you get a way of unbalance in the sound.

Hi bo1972..do you mean a pair of cables or dbs packs of 36v each? You are saying the sound will be unbalanced with a pair of 36v dbs packs? I was thinking of just buying one 72v dbs pack and removing both 36v dbs packs. What do you think?

I put one DBS72v on the Sub-3 cable. Audioquest gave it to me.

My recent Wild Dog also has one DBS-72v.

Hi bo1972..wow thats nice of AQ to provide you with a 72v dbs pack. I have been in touch and they want to see a picture of the cable with the dual 36v dbs packs. See what happens there I guess. 
Is your Wild Dog a sub cable too?

This the best and most expensive Sub-cable today. It is 100% full silver with DBS72v. It brings subcabels to a much higher level.
