Recently bought these for my Quads, simply amazing! I did not believe that it can really improve the sound but the clarity has gone up and noise have disappeared. Earlier one was DAC 14AWG, I use banana plugs, one advice, it may be worth plugging the holes behind the plug with cotton, put some silica gel beeds inside (2-3) it will help in preventing accumulation of moisture and oxidation. In Indian climate condition, bare wire will not help much in my view.
The interconnect is good, almost as good as the monster 200i that I have been using since a year, the contact point quality in Monster is better IMO, fit is better.
My earlier audioquest sidewinder has become loose in 2 years! I did not do anything to influence that is all I can say, I had to manually press the outer shell with a players very careully with fabric wrapping to ensure the geometry does not change, tough job and should not really try unless you are sure. I am retiring this one.
