I haven't had Audioquest in my system but have had AZ speaker cables and interconnects in my system for years and have compared to several others but the AZs always stay (haven't had the megabuck cables in my system though). I would echo the other sentiments of the AZ cables sounding natural and musical, but I'm very sensitive to loss of detail and unlike many others they do a good job with that too despite being "musical." Good all-around cables with something for everyone is how I'd sum them up. Best of luck.
