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..

Ie & Sabai Let me only (and respectfully) 2nd the opinion the opinion of Mofimadness in disagreement.
I'll chime in on Grover's cables also, I have a set of SC version (speaker) and a balanced SX IC that I use. Yes the break in DOES TAKE some time fully agree with that but, they imaged with detail right from the get go! Now I'm listening through Apogee Slant speakers and they throw a great sound stage, I agree that they are probably just a tad more forward then mid hall (which I like) and they throw a wide stage with great detail. Bass is very well articulated and highs are smooth and extended as well. Most of all when I had contacted Grover initially I explained that I wanted a NETURAL sounding cable without any tuning properties, which is exactly what I have in my rig. IMHO I call these a bargain if there ever was one. Should you have questions Grover is more than happy to help , he's a true gentleman and I myself can't endorse his products enough.
Sabi, In some cases I might agree with you but, you are also comparing Apples and Oranges in much the same light that you would compare a 1970's Hemi to todays Hell Cat Hemi but, one does it subjectivetly different from the other. Both do exactly what they're were designed to do. Not everyone has the money to 'invest' (if you will) in super high end cables, most of us(like myself) are the 'common man' (if you will) and like anything else cable matching is subjective as to perceived needs and system matching (which is most important as well) I use Grover's cables with tremendous success and do not find the short coming as what you precieve with my system but then again that ALSO may be because I pay attention to the performance of the room as well. My stageing is wide and deep, not strident, not hard and no listening fatuige as long as I choose to enjoy my music. My opinion differs from yours as I myself would not invest in the super priced cables even if I had the money, I know what is good (to me) and Grover's products have made jaw dropping differences to those who have heard my system both before and since I started using Grover's cables.
Sabai, I Think you did hit a very pertinent point in saying "in my system". As much as I'd like not to say... each system is different in their own respective synergy and each room also has profound effects on that synergy as well. I can say that I class your tastes as 'Elitest" so that you evaluate your own tastes far from my own. That doesn't mean that I am any less critical in my listening evaluations though either and though I don't agree with your opinions concerning cables, I do have to respect them as they are your own and I have mine and I have tried much pricier cables and I find Grover's to provide the most satisfying sound for PRAT, Dynamics and synergy and of course that is my humble opinion because as I have tuned my room and built my rig these ARE the VERY BEST CABLES I have ever used and that said will end my posting on this discussion.
