Which Audioquest XLR?

Kalbi, I had used the Audioquest King Cobra and, based on advise from this forum, upgraded to the Columbia (72V pack). I thought it made an improvement in my system. However the KC can be had for about 1/2 the Columbia on used market. Given the cost differential and system synergy/sonic preference issues I could not advise which cable best suits your needs.

Ctsooner...I think you should worry less about my noise floor and more about your inability to detect humor. Maybe these things are connected (Promising improvement of something you haven't actually heard? An inability to detect mirth? Pesky food allergies maybe?), but evaluation by a trained professional and possibly therapy can't hurt, although I won't promise anything.

Wolf, not sure how to put this the right way, but here it goes. I have MS and yes, I do have a problem detecting humor in threads at times. I was being serious in my posts about what the battery packs help with. Thanks for clarifying.

Hey everyone thanks for posting, I should've clarified, I currently am using the AQ diamondback XLR, worth to upgrade from these? Thanks.

Kalbi, the problem with asking questions like this is that it totally depends on your own system. If you love the AQ sound right now, then you PROBABLY will get better performance by upgrading.
I have found and I'm sure I'm not alone, that going up in someone's line isn't always best forKeith, do yourself a favor and check out the 20's.....;)your system. I've had cables in and out of my system over the years and more often than you would think, upgrading changed the sound, but not always for the best. Often times the use of silver just didn't work well with what I was using. I can say that anytime I've heard the AQ cables go from using the DBS units or not, the DBS cables were a big upgrade.

You really need to get some cables into your system and audition or you will keep chasing your tail. Should your system sound better by upgrading in the AQ line? Most probably yes. if the price is right, I'd just go for it as you can sell them if not, but you'll most probably be happy with going for the upgrade. Good luck and let us know what you end up doing. Colorado or Columbia used would be nice places to start.
