Acoustic Zen vs. Coincident CST


Does anybody out there have any comments about the performance characteristics of these two companys cables, either IC or Spkr going head to head. I know components plays a big part but lets talk generalities. Appreciate all the feed back and interaction with you all.

Sorry, I forgot to state that the cables are very honest and you will hear what's there.They dont stand in the way of the music.Great value.
I am very interested in this same comparison. I have been told coincident cables need a long time to break-in 300 to 500 hrs. Both cables are supposed to be good.
Can only give performance of the "Coincident" cables as I have not made comparison to the Acoustic Zen. Have the Coincident CST I speaker cables, Interconnect and Power Cord. First of all the build quality is exceptional, the spade ends on the speaker cables remind me of the ends on Transparent, top notch quality. Each product brought my system to a new level of performance, the speaker cables brought actual sound out on some recordings that I had not heard prior with my existing cables. Exceptional detail and clarity on the top end with precise and tight bass on the bottom end. The soundstage opened wider and with more depth than my previous cables. The power cord & interconnect on my CDP made the sound more accurate and clear with a sense of weight on the bottom end. I was skeptical about these cables and purchased these based on reviews from others on audiogon. For there affordable price range compared to the higher prices of cables I had in my system before, build quality and exceptional performance they compare and better all other cables I have owned before which included MIT, Tara Labs, Transparent Ultra, XLO & Analysis Plus. They do continue to perform better and better as break-in time elapses and am really enjoying the processess, my hope is that they continue as more detail to the music is exposed almost each time the system is turned on. One of the best investment risk in audio by far, my search for cables is over, thank God.
I can only give you the AZ side as I have no experience with the Coincident. As always this is my opinion based on my system.
The Az is very, very good. I have put alot of cable in my system over the last few years, some very expensive, and the AZ is as good as any and at a real world price.
