Z squared AUAU gold alloy ICs, no image at all


Hi
I have just bough a pair of Z squared audio 2.0m AUAU gold alloy neutrik interconnects for my system. I put them between the dac and and the pre amplifier. I used to have a regular diamond back audioquest IC there. I put the z squared cable and the image lost a lot of focus. The voice was left to the center and the soundstage wasnt as clear as with the AQ. The sound lost the magic.
I would like to know if somebody has experienced the same with this ICs or maybe the cables need a break in. Or maybe Im doin something wrong.
Thanks

The arrows indicate the directional flow of the signal. Thus FROM the source TO the preamp/amp.
Enjoy them. They are excellent cables.
Wow, Rudd, good scouting! I'm not familiar with the braided cable offered by the Oregon dealer. I've only heard/owned these, and only the Au/Au version, which is their top 'o the line interconnect.
Glad you enjoy them, Rudd. We preferred the Z-Squared to quite a few other cables in our system. They are particularly good at getting out of the way, and allowing the life of the music to come through.
