I have to say this cable is very neutral from top to bottom. There is no smearing of the bass. Midrange is pure without the usual mush from stranded cables. The highs are clear and extended without any tizziness or distortion.

I used to follow the AQ belief that 20 gauge is the cable that frequecies all travel at the same speed. I have owned several AQ cables that used multiple 20 gauge solid core conductors and I now say one solid 12 gauge conductor does the job much better.

Simpler is better.
