Thanks Teajay for the info. Yes, I read your review of the Absolute and I'm glad that you are enjoying them. I'll take into consideration the differences that you heard.
Acoustic Zen upgrade?
I currently have the AZ Satori speaker cables in my system and I'm very happy with their performance. They portray a tonal and timbre rightness that is very pleasing to my ears. I was thinking about upgrading in the AZ line. I have it narrowed down to two choices, either the Double Barrel or the Absolute. My speakers are the Reference 3A Dulcet mini-monitors( these are bi-wireable which I've found to sound better). These speakers are time and phase-aligned and would like suggestions from other members who have a time and phase-aligned speaker( any manufacturer). I realize that this narrows the field a bit as far as participants to answer my question, but this is my intention as I'd like to hear from phase and time-aligned speaker owners only) My amplification is a pair of VAC Musiblocs. Has anyone had a chance to seriously audition the two AZ cables in their own systems after having lived comfortably with the Satori? Thanks for your suggestions.
