Audphile1, thx for the insight on AZ cables. I got a new turntable (La Luce w/ Helikon) and a phono stage (Clearaudio balanced ref). So I need great sounding phono cable and IC from phono to Pre amp. The plan is eventually to change all other cables in my system from same make products. Cardas GR, AZ and Kimber are candidates sound that I am little familiar with. I already got the Cardas GR phono cable and before I get long cable ( 3m) from phono to preamp, I want to make sure on the make.
Cardas GR sounds natural but at times I feel that the sound is on warmer side, but then that is the only cardas cable i got in the system.It may not be fair to judge based on just one cable. But the fact the sound changes drastically when i change AZ wow ( a demo) to Cardas GR between TT and phono. A livelier sound ( a little too lively) that AZ wow provides makes me think to try AZ silver ref. Kimber select cable I have for my upstair system, so i am a little familiar with its sound.
Hope this helps.
