When the Fall 1992 quarter began, the weather in Santa Cruz was positively lovely. One of my ground floor college neighbors, Steffie, was from Phoenix, so she loved Santa Cruz's relatively cold weather. She came up to my top floor unit, where I had assembled a Sony ES/Adcom/AudioQuest/Pinnacle home stereo system.
With weather so nice, we frequently hit the coast. Steffie (right, with light-colored hair), said that she spent part of the summer of 1992 with relatives in L.A., to (a) escape Phoenix's heat, and (b) be closer to a guy she liked. But apparently, he went after other girls. So when that did not pan out, he came back to Steffie. She told him, "I'm not a consolation prize. You don't get to fail, and then try to come back to me." Steffie then pivoted, and said that she liked Phoenix in October. The days are shorter, so even if temps go above 100 degrees, they don't stay there as long.
Steffie also knew about Phoenix's hard rock band, Flotsam And Jetsam. Just before Halloween, we would purchase FAJ's new album, Cuatro . Here (I'm on your left), we were trying to mimic that back cover of Cuatro . However, that photo excludes Steffie, because she was the one who snapped it!
Maybe the consolation prize of having AudioQuest Type 4 speaker cable in my home system, was that I got to bring my old F-14 to UC Santa Cruz. Ever since then, I have missed the spirit of the Type 4. A more modern replacement is the CV-4. This sample was from the mid-to-late 2000s. The white-colored print says "4.2," indicating a regular two-channel stereo pair. And it's nice of AQ, to label and differentiate "amp end" versus "speaker end."
The AQ Type 4 initially made it to Stereophile's Recommended Components, in the October 1992 issue. The F-14 had already been included, since the April 1990 issue. As for the CV-4, the other channel uses black-colored lettering. I can't seem to find any serial numbers, though.
Like Steffie and FAJ, the audiodharma Cable Cooker comes from Phoenix. Yes, we still have that Cuatro CD, which was purchased just before Halloween 1992. Leave the CV-4's DBS battery pack(s) connected. For the CV-4, four days of Cook time is about right.
