Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Wrong XLR Cable.
I'm not saying audioquest is not a good cable, because I have several interconnects that have performed awesomely and improved my system's sound quality. I have another one that hasn't improved it, but hasn't made it worse either (3.5mm to 3.5mm) headphone cable. Anyhow, the issue isn't the cable at this time. The issue is that I was sent a single XLR cable in which the only part of my order that matches the description is the length and color of the cable. The pictured description and the quantity indicates that I'm to recieve 2 (right-white letters and left-black letters) cables. I was sent a "center channel/subwoofer cable in a damaged box.I assume BB wants me to use one stereo channel??? And lastly, I don't even see the size of the cable listed on the website anymore. Did they find this thing at the bottom of some RTV box? Times are hard for many of us. I've spent a lot of hard earned money at best buy, in many cases, much to the chagrin of my sweet wife. I opted to purchase at best buy in an effort to support a local box store instead of Amazon(which would've arrived sooner), to do my part in keeping your doors open when I'm reading headlines every week of more retailers closing their doors and/or shutting down. If really appreciate it if things were were made right. Thanks you!

worth the money
you want quality, you have to pay for it. AudioQuest Cables are the real deal and worth the money you pay. If you invest in high end components, it only makes sense you spend the money on high quality cables.
