Looks like there are indeed new speaker cables coming per Garth Powell's comments in a recent interview. End of the year...

I would love to read the white paper on how Audioquest achieves no characteristic impedance in their cables. Is there one available?

Johndoe, where did you get your AQ Diamond USB 216v cable? I called AQ and they never made one but said there could be aftermarket ones floating around.

He he. This Diamond is "upgraded" by me. I used two more DBS units with adapters for a total of 216V. If you've paid attention to what happens in the loudspeaker cable segment, a lot of owners use 144V DBS for them with excellent results (on Volcano, Oak, Redwood, Everest, Mont Blanc, Kilimanjaro).. So I've tried 144V and didn't like the results I've got... I've tried 216V and wow... everything is smoother, better separated, tonally richer.. Just try it and see what happens.

I would wonder about whether something somewhere may not be rated for to insulate 216V? Did AQ comment on that?

When I called AQ and asked if they had a 216v version he replied no and there could be after market version he didn't say that 216v would cause damage or do any harm, I would think he would of said something right away if there was a rated V.

Johndoe I sure it sounds great and Im going to try it. Thanks.
