Grover Huffman GH RCA ZX+ cables vs...


At the $200/pair price point new or used, how does GH ZX+ cables compare to others like Greg Straley Reality cables, Gabriel gold (GG) revelation/raptures and alike...

I am looking for a cable that is neutral, and does not act as a filter in any way to highlight a certain portion of the music. From top to bottom it must allow the source material to come through..

Just received my ZX+ power cable and I have to say I am very impressed.
The first thing I noticed was how textured and impact-full the low-end is. Some of the best bass I've ever heard, but don't get me wrong these are extremely neural cables so the low-end doesn't stand out; only in how marvellous it is.
The next thing that blew me away was how deep the sound stage became and how the images project them selves with-in it. The images have pinpoint precision but resonate into a wide field with-in the stage (very natural sounding).
I would classify the ZX+ as an extremely technical cable. Extreme detail, texture, micro-dynamics, transparency and resolution all there.
This guy has some great ears and skill in his craft.

Jmcgrogan2 I've worked for Virtual Dynamics and have heard everything they had to offer and I must say that the only RCA VD cable that I would trade out my Grovers for was the Genesis. Power cables on the other hand... nothing can compares to Virtual Dynamics. Now this was years ago using Grover's S/UR8 cables. The VD cables have a more smooth, clear, organic sound. The Grover's are more of the grained textured technical cable offering great stage and imaging. Since you are concerned with the stage differences in comparison to the Virtual Dynamics cables... the grovers image deeper with-in the stage with more segregation and pin-point precision while Virtual Dynamics flow more organically with-in the stage with not as much definition and precision. If you have a Genesis cable I would stick with that, but if you are looking for a great interconnect bargain you can't beat Grover cables.
Jmcgrogan2 I hear what you are saying about Virtual Dynamics stage, It was more left to right pan with a wide image that didn't have much depth to it...
I think you should really give the Grovers a shot. I keep calling them technical cables, one of the reasons being the "3 dimensional presentation" you are looking for.
I wouldn't call the presentation mid-hall, maybe a few rows up but the depth of the stage brings you back to (I guess you could say) MID-HALL.

I know you didn't mention anything about the low end but after listing to the Grovers your further priority's just might change. You will be craving more....

O THE SWEET LOW END!
