Rayhall is right on with the description that it gives you the sensation that there is nothing between you and the music. It also give me the illusion that you get more of a you are there feeling like you are in the same room as the performance, it seems to charge the air around you with energy. I have tried a lot of diffrent cables some very expensive, all the big names, and was always getting to much of a good thing in some areas and lacking in others. With the Zen wires I feel it just gets it right. I have done a lot of comparing of diffrent interconnects in particular, and the Silver Ref interconnect simply passes more information through than any other cable I have tried. The powercords are incredible, easily bettering my King Cobras. The digital is also fantastic. I now own all Acoustic Zen and haven't bought a cable in months.
