i upgraded from the audio quest golden gate rca to the sydney. pretty big improvement in soundstage, imaging, holographic, and dynamics. i'm using it from a pre amp to powered speakers. worthy upgrade for sure.

[Employee of bestbuy] Compact and well-constructed cable that delivers consistent sound quality. The shorter length is perfect for tight setups and keeps everything neat. Connectors lock in firmly and the cable feels premium. No hum, no distortion, just clean audio. Works exactly as expected and feels like it will last a long time.

Look,if your looking to buy this cable then you already know about audioquest quality,so I'm not going to convince the na-sayers.I was using the big Sur one and it was fine but I wanted to upgrade so I bit the bullet and spent the $$ and could not be happier.I don't think my system is hi end enough to get the Victoria one but hi end enough for this one.I'm using this for the connection from my Rotel cd player to my Marantz amp.

AQ cables are always a great choice for the seasoned or budding audiophile. I have heard the difference stepping up from Monster and a few other "premium" brands. If you are after the highest fidelity without going for the prices of the ultimate boutique cables, Audioquest is the answer.

Very high grade well built. Whether in my mind or not I swear I could here it in my ears.
