New Zu Mission cable


For some reason, the other thread on this subject was deleted. I wanted to hear from those who bought the new Mission cable during Zu's recent promotional period. I also would like to open up this thread to impressions of this cable once in your system.

It seems, looking at their new website, that the Mission is the only cable line Zu are now making - as everything else (Libtech etc.) has vanished. Does anyone know anything about this?
@ Tholt - I'm not sure, as I don't work for Zu, but I assume it was a product rationalization &/or marketing rethink.

A shame in a way as I was planning to get another couple of sets of the Libtech cables. But I am not as impressed with the Mission & will probably look elsewhere ...
Jedinite: I haven't tried of the new IC's - only the Mission speaker cables - & to me they just didn't sound as good as the Libtechs. They seemd to have less clarity & soundstage definition. It may well be a compatibility thing (I have Magnepan speakers no Zu's).

I haven't tried the Event SC's but they are twice the price so I probably won't - unless they are also on sale? It's not clear from the site what - if anything - is still on sale.

Which brings me to another point - & I know it's petty - I wish they'd stop changing their website! It's like they can't make up their mind about anything. Everytime I visit it's a different format, with different products either added or subtracted. Currently you can only download brochures - not browse online - which is a hassle if you are not using you're own pc (or on a handheld device).
Nope, a new site for the new year - & one that doesn't allow browsing (at least for now). Either the folks at Zu have a lot of extra time on their hands or there is some major indecision in the ranks. This is - I think - the third site remake in as many months, not to mention the revisions to their product lines.
