A recent reviewer said, “Audioquest’s flexible solutions gave my the opportunity to change my original NuForce CAT-6E, RJ45 to banana, speaker cable. By testing the original cable, side by side with the Audioquest Pearl, I heard the quality difference that Pearl delivered. The speaker running Pearl delivered a smooth sound that my ear perceived as relaxed and more easy to absorb, compared to the original. It was more clean, and Pearl didn’t try to take over the job from the speaker, while the original does, trying to be ambitious, but not delivering what’s trying to do, producing a resonance by-effect. A cable should never try to do something on it’s own, and Pearl follows those standards very well. I’m already very happy with the sound at the moment, even though the Pearl cable will improve itself over the 100-200 hours of play.”
