Up for sale is a pair of Audioquest Niagara interconnects. XLR terminated. 0.5 M length.
Great sounding solid core silver interconnects. Was the next best cable under the legendary Sky interconnect. Great condition overall with just a few typical minor scuffs on the xlr barrels. Batteries with green light. I have the orginal AQ box and velvet bag. New are now $1,300. I'm asking $525 for these, including ppal fees and priority mail shipping in lower 48 USA.
Let me know if photos are needed.
Thx

Designed for the world’s best systems, Niagara will astonish even the most jaded audiophile with its silky smooth presentation, seductive dynamic shading and astoundingly rich tonal palette. The 72V DBS pack gives Niagara’s PSS conductors warmth and life, with greater speed and resolution than PSC+.
Niagara incorporates our best metal with its Perfect-Surface Silver conductors. Silver is known for its high conductivity and its “colorless” sonic presentation. Niagara will surprise you with its tonal balance and lightning speed presentation.
SOLID 100% PERFECT-SURFACE SILVER CONDUCTORS (PSS): Perfect-Surface Technology applied to extreme-purity silver provides unprecedented clarity and dynamic contrast. Solid conductors prevent strand interaction, a major source of cable distortion. Extremely high-purity Perfect-Surface Silver minimizes distortion caused by the grain boundaries that exist within any metal conductor, nearly eliminating harshness and greatly increasing clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers.
FEP AIR-TUBE INSULATION (FEP is a Fluoro-Polymer): Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then later released as distortion. All of Niagara’s conductors use Air-Tube insulation because air absorbs next to no energy, and FEP is the best extrudable solid insulation and absorbs less energy than other materials. The FEP Air-Tubes used in Niagara have almost nothing but air around the solid PSS conductors.
DIELECTRIC-BIAS SYSTEM (DBS, US Pat #s 7,126,055 & 7,872,195 B1): All insulation slows down the signal on the conductor inside. When insulation is unbiased, it slows down parts of the signal differently, a big problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio. AudioQuest’s DBS creates a strong, stable electrostatic field which saturates and polarizes (organizes) the molecules of the insulation. This minimizes both energy storage in the insulation and the multiple nonlinear time-delays that occur. Sound appears from a surprisingly black background with unexpected detail and dynamic contrast. The DBS battery packs will last for years. A test button and LED allow for the occasional battery check.
