Madrigal CZ Gel interconnects

Actually, Madrigal bought Levinson (late '80s) and later Harmon bought Madrigal (in the late '90s, I think)

Robert, the CZs are extremely articulate (some might say bright -- I wouldn't). They compare with cables like Straightwire Virtuoso (a little better), Magnan Silver Bronze (about the same) and Purist Venustas (not quite as good). Very sytem dependent. I think they'd be excellent if you needed a long run for some reason. I only tried them in 1 to 2.5 meter. Also, they didn't make a lot of product in single ended, so you'll mainly see XLR. Also, I've never figured out what the difference is, but there is a CZ Gel II.

Are there any better cables in the same price range? These are very hard to find. One meter XLR's go for around $200 - 250.

They are often available here on Agon. Search "CZ" They are great cables, especially with '90s Levinson gear. They need a little space to connect because they're moderately stiff (but not too bad!)

Madrigal, Now HSG, got out of the cable business quite a
while ago. You may want to try to contact some of the
Levinson dealers, they may still have inventory.

As a side note, Harman International owned both companies
and had them merge together. HSG didn't not buy them...
