I recently upgraded to the "Q-tip" brand of q-tips, truly a "Giant Killer." After using the more common Walgreens house brand, these "classic" q-tips have taken my system to another level entirely. High frequencies shimmer and decay without a trace of grain, the bass firmed up, and the midrange became almost holographical in its ability to reproduce a live performance in my listening room. The improvement is on the order of upgrading both components and speakers. Best tweek I have ever used. Better than the much balyhooed and much more expensive Bybees, and almost as good as two bottles of California cab. ;>)
Owners of "Giant Killers"?
We often read of folks who have heard "Giant Killer" products: amps, preamps, digital sources...
We also often read about products that are tried, and are "excellent and worth the audition", but are not chosen for the listeners's system because of a better product.
I'm wondering how many Audiogoners actually own a "Giant Killer"?
Has someone heard a component that offers great value, but beyond the dollar value offers perfomance that has truly been good enough to replace the "Giant"?
