Review 2 of 9

Price Paid:  $300.00 from 1 spool UK shop

Summary:
Among the more likable cable at its price point. No equal. More cohesive sounding than the other best buy UK cable which was cable talk3 . The bass is what is immediately noticed, among the succesfull 79 strand cables. budget cable for home audio starter systems. Every car audio customer was a convert having listened to sample systems.

Strengths:
Articulation in bass, well projected immediate front and back staging.

Weaknesses:
none to compare at the price.

Summary:
other cables used:

Acoustic Control 2x 2.5
Bandridge 2 x 2.5

Qed Qudos Original is an excellent cable, I tried all the above and this one is my favourite...

Bass- deep but not overblown...
midrange- natural...
treble- very detailed and smooth...never harsh or bright, I can now listen to music for hours...

I would be a happy man with all the cables I´ve tried...until I tried this one :-)

I can´t wait to try QED Silver, everyone says it´s even better...


ps: from all the above cables I also liked a lot Cable Talk 3.1 and Ixos 6003 and the reasons I prefer QED are:
Talk 3.1 has harsh treble and overblown bass with some types of music, I mean it sounds excellent with some and horrible with other.
Ixos 6003 has a very bad dielectric, the cable actually sounds great (=QED) but it oxidizes after 1 year...

Strengths:
Everything...

Weaknesses:
none at the price

Review 5 of 9

Price Paid:  $3.00 from Ghijsens Hifi

Summary:
I got this cable to go with my tannoy mx-range and my sony gear. The sony gear is a little bright to my tastes, even combined with the smooth tannoy, so it needed just a little taming. My hifi-dealer recommended my the qed qudos to calm things down a bit, which is exactly what it does. With my monitor pc cable (not available in UK I think) things sounded a smidgen to enthousiastic, bass a little overblown, treble a little harsh. With the qed qudos (biwire), things really settled down. Bass had more control, the midrange was more lifelike, and the treble was more fluid.
The only cables I know with these quality are top-end Vandenhul, but they'll cost you 5 times the price of this bargain.
The only downside is that is does NOT look impressive, it looks like you got it in some DIY shop.
This is a killer-bargain ! Go get it !
Thanks to everyone for their contribution to this wonderfull website , keep it up !

Strengths:
Amazing value for the price, control , fluidity and imaging

Weaknesses:
A little stiff, so hard to handle, doesn't look the least impressive in plain white.

Similar Products Used:
monitor pc bingo, cobra, bandridge

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.

The Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 is more a study in contrasts than most cables. Chrono b2 refers to balanced version 2.
