I posted last year about my AQ type 2 speaker cables turning slimy/greasy. I cleaned them off but the gunk returned a couple months later. Contacted AQ and they suggested I send them in, which I did. So what did they do? Cleaned them off and sent them back. Was hoping for a replacement or credit towards something else, as I could have saved the shipping $ and cleaned them myself.
The cables are nasty once more and before they turn the carpet red again, I thought I might try another cable. Looking for something full sounding with nothing in the way of brightness. Last resort I could run some braiding over the top, but why not move to something better. These are running between a Audio Research VT60 and Vandersteen 1C.

I too have Vandersteens.....Call Paul at ClearDay cables.. He'll send you an audition pair so you can hear for yourself
Doesn't the 1C have the countersunk holes, which accept bananas? If you wish to stay with AQ, I would get their current production Type 4, with BFA bananas. I'm not sure what posts the VT60 has, so if it has screw-type terminals, you will have to go with spades at that end.
And then, you absolutely MUST get this and the rest of your cables, onto a proper cable burn-in device, such as the audiodharma Cable Cooker. We have Cooked several AQ interconnects and speaker cables form the early 90s, and were rather shocked at how good these products truly were/are. They had been used for over 20 years, but that regular playing time falls way short of what the Cooker does.
