Are you using the silver or matrix? The silver ref made quite an improvement over the AQ diamond and lapis in both table to phono and phono to line stage.Haven't tried to amp yet as I need a 3 meter run.Am considering the AQ anaconda in that area as I've ended up using the snake between phono and line.As good as the Zen is,you might think of the difference as being vanilla compaired to French vanilla.Good luck and happy listening.
Acoustic Zen cables with vinyl front-end
I currently use AZ cables with a digital source and, like many here, am amazed by the presence/palpability/intimacy they bring to music. My analogue cable loom includes just one AZ cable - speaker - and I'm considering replacing the interconnect between phono preamp and power amp with an AZ.
I'd love to hear from anyone who has compared the performance of AZ cables in digital and analogue systems. Since AZ do not produce tonearm and phono cables, do you lose much of that wonderful "see-through" quality when listening to vinyl?
Many thanks for any replies.
P.S. Although I've referred to digital v. vinyl here, I'd welcome any feedback on an all-AZ cable loom v. AZ between preamp and speakers only.
