Anyone tried the new and improved Zen matrix?

The dealers are advertising that the new and improved Acoustic Zen matrix with teflon tape has been compared to the Nordost Valhalla and beats it hands down.Anyone do this comparison? If this is true we're going to see a lot of Valhalla cables for sale "cheap".

Sherod,
I just got a pair a AZ about 2 weeks ago. I've never heard the old style, but they beat my Transparent audio Super XL hands down. As they say, there was the lifting of a sheet of haze with these cables. More detail yet smoother, they where everything I could have hoped for.... and they are less expensive by 50% then the transparents. I am definetly off the transparent band wagon and on the Acoutic Zen. I am very happy with them, I am looking forward to replacing my trans speaker wire with AZ.

Sherod,
I have these hooked up to a Cary sli-80 integrated and a Cary 303/200 cdp. The cable had been "cooked" before I got them, but the dealer told me to run them another 48 hrs before I a/b. I ran them about 3 short days and then a/b. It did not take very long to figure out the AZ was a clear winner.
