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

Boa2, do you know what the deal is with the Zsquared cables...are there diffent flavours of these interconnects? The Z squared interconnects posted on the "official" Z squared website ( www.Z2audio.com) appear to be a completely different cable then the Zsquared interconnects posted at:

www.oregondv.com/Zsquared_Gold&Silver_Interconnects.htm

I believe the oregondv is a distributor for Z Squared audio ...I'm confused. Are they different cables?... if so, which one's are you recommending

Thanks
TVAD/Alanbrain , excuse my ignorance but what do you by the arrows pointing in the right direction? I too have the Z squared Neutriks and was wondering what you meant.

BTW... I am also very impressed with these interconnects. I noticed the sound is much cleaner wnow with the Z interconnects
Thanks Boa2! I recently purchased a couple a sets of these interconnects ( in large part due to some of your previous posts) and couldn't be more pleased with the results. To my ears, they were real improvement over my SC ana2's interconnects. The bass on my Soliloquy's are tighter and the high's are smoother and more extended without a trace of glare.
