    Default audioquest type 4

    i found this set of audioquest type 4 at bestbuy
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1218117344485
    and i was just wondering if anyone had any experience with the cable. I am going to be connecting them to my polk lsi15's via a rotel 1095 amp. Are these good cables, is the best buy price a good price?

    Very nice cable, but I would never spend that kinda coin on them. You can find them for $80-$100 all the time.

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    +1.

    Some AQ Type 4s are floating about on CP as evaluations. I tried them and liked them. But, like Ben said, you can pick up a set for much less - which would make them a sweet deal for your rig.

    These are essentially the same thing. Same wire config and you can choose the color of the sheathing and termination. Save yourself some money and buy these

    No affil.

    or if you have your heart set on Type 4's

    Kimber 4TCs have a good rep, too - haven't tried them.

    But here is a nice deal:
