Last commentary, these are Apple and Orange speaker cables. Both good, both bring a slightly different sonic pallet to the table.
I listened again to the AZ Satori and Analysis Plus Black Mesh Oval 9, and the Zen Satori seem to be a little more dynamic, with slightly more tonal information (Diana Kralls voice had a little etch, sounded a little more like her), particularly in the upper mids. The Oval 9 sounded like they are a little smoother and warmer, slightly blacker background, as mentioned, good shimmer, just a touch less than the Satori. The Satori, however, are also a warm speaker cable, just not quit as much as the Oval Nine.
Again, Apples and Oranges and I think the better is probably the one which balances the sound of your system best. If you think that you are slightly lean, the Oval 9 may be best, otherwise, for a little more sparkle while maintaining great warmth and perhaps slightly more tonal accuracy and information, the Satori may be better.
