Hi! I'm sorry but I've corrected all of them now so no material for video. Its just about removing thin strands of wire that are braided with thick wire signal lines on the side that has no DBS unit. So, remove the plugs, unbraid thin wires and spearete them from thick solid cores, cut or isolae thin ones and place the plugs back.
Love your reviews ! I have genuine AQ cables … interconnects … I tried AQ Wind and found it bright so tried a fake fire .. it was better and cured the issues the Wind had …so was it just a knock off Fire ? It was £130 as opposed to £2000 ! It is not as good as my genuine AQ Pegasus but it made me wonder what fake Thunderbird would be like at a fraction of the price. I don’t like fake. It I want a nice sound and it is tempting to try a fake cable again.
I have Thunderbird review coming, so it may help you. I don't know if these are fakes or what they really are. Solid silver is replaced with silver plated copper, but other than this - I just don't know.
just plugged this into my Tannoy floorstanders. wow, wow and thrice wow. replaces QED silver anniversary XT. cost about the same but is massively better with more detail, greater instrument separation, better bass control, punchier and more cohesive. it also looks really good. this is an absolute steal. can't imagine AQ are too happy...
@@k4syx I am immediately tempted to piut the 88 on my 2nd rig and go for the WEL signature biwire (same price as single wire dragons). have you heard the WEL ? Something like £75000 in biwire 4m LOL. Subbed Sir. Happy listening from Derbyshire's Peak District
@@k4syx so I am now listening to my new 4m elephant trunks ("WEL Signature" speaker cables) and am immediately impressed. notably better than "Rocket 88". more detail. more punch, better holography. tighter bass. about the same jump that the 88 gave me from QED Silver Anniversary XT (but a bigger price increase !). Just uncoiling them was worth the money. I was in stitches of laughter. they are gigantic. I also have full WEL interconnects and coax - I can't recommend them highly enough. Sound per pound is approaching infinity in high-end terms. whohoo
@@bongofury3176 The intersting thing here is that these scale same way as regular AQ cable ladder. Its not something that goes sideways, you just get more of the good thing across the board. When I heard K2 I went straight for Dragons right after I got some money saved for that purchase.
lol! Wow and thanks again. This is so nuts. Good to also check if the plugs use non-magnetic screws and assembly parts. Cheap to change regardless. Looking forward to all of these comparisons, and now rethinking just about everything 😎
Yes there is. With DBS connected sound is a bit smoother, and without it its a bit more transparent. With my speakers I usually prefer to have DBS disconnected
интересно было бы посмотреть материал изоляции и макировка внутренних проводников совпалает с оригинальным кабелем? так же в оригинальном кабеле черная изоляция проводит элекктричество. А что в этой подделке?
@@k4syx it would be interesting to see the insulation material and the layout of the internal conductors match the original cable? also in the original cable, black insulation conducts electricity. What's in this fake?
@@legion2252 internal structure matches to original. Sizes, markings on the wires etc - the same. There is no "conducting insulation" inside :) Insulation is insulation, however there are additional wires for DBS +/-
Cables don't use batteries ! A very bad way to make rca xlr ? If you have XLR ..use it Single ended is 10db - XLR is 4db +. I don't think a battery can change that ? The only changes will be + - your pockets or wallet...
Because they are people like you and me, and normal people do not steal from others, nor do they lie to them. That's why they are genuine people, though their products are pricey :)
Perhaps it is a good idea to wright down what parts your system exists about. It's not clear now because of .... pronunciation problems. 🙂 Perhaps in every video do this. copy past small trouble and everybody knows now in what kind of revealing system you are testing this all. Greetings again. 🙂
I was thinking about that. Pro was that it gives some context, con was that if someone watches my videos as I publish them he/she would be bored hearing the same thing for the x time. But I still think about it.
Ah yes but I mean only in the written context below, don't mention it every time in your videos.@@k4syx So just some copy past standards there to give it perspective.

Thanks for your channel.I think some of us need opinions. For me you’re a gift on TH-cam for letting us know these products exist
Thank you!
These are fakes, some more than other, so there's moral dilemma about them.
But it's always better to know.
I think by now the newer version with silvered plugs and updated braiding is also on ali
@@D1N02 Have you seen it? Can you give the name for the offer?
I saw some new ICs like Water yesterday that were not there earlier

Could you kindly demonstrate how to repair the shorted DBS cable, as mentioned in your video?

Yes, makes you think especially if you'll take a look at the detail inside - in places nobody normally would look :)
did you do the sound tests with DBS on? tks
there is a notable difference with dbs on vs off ?
On (connected)
Yes there is. With DBS connected sound is a bit smoother, and without it its a bit more transparent. With my speakers I usually prefer to have DBS disconnected

Link which Aliexpress store you bought them from?
Hi! Sorry, I wouldn't like to link stores selling these fakes, I hope you understand this.
@@k4syx Cmon, im also very interested in just the Store, you would not have to spent a link for the actual Product ;)
Thank you for the information. I am thinking of buying fake king cobra. I have the original version and i want to make comparison .
I'd love to hear the results of 1:1 test comparison! Could you share back info when/if you'll compare them?
@@k4syx Okay i will do it.
@@82ivaylo have you had the chance to do it?

Are Audio quest selling these to people who cant/won't afford the full retail price for genuine cables... Why do we assume Audio quest r honest?

Which seller on Ali which sell this better than real AQ cable? I may want to get too.
