Zafvino Silver Dart Graphene vs. ?


Happy Saturday!

Now that I've got my Harbeth 40.3 XDs settled in with the BAT VK3500, I'm considering upgrading my Zavfino Nova's to Silver Dart's. 

My question is for anyone that has experience with the Silver Dart's: Is there something else in the <$3K range I should be looking at, or not.

(and for sure, before I spend $3K I'll audition a few options from The Cable Co.)

I can't answer your question specifically, but related to many suggestions already given, I am using Acoustic Zen Absolute speaker cables yet Silver Dart power cords. No, I don't have a good answer why it ended up like that, but I am in no hurry to make any changes based on the sound quality I am getting. I imagine the Silver Dart speaker cables and IC's sound just as good, but I haven't compared. 

Question to @ozzy though, I am seeing a large number of used AQ dragon's; not just here but in other classifieds as well- I wonder if all are legit/non-counterfeit? At this price level there must be plenty of incentive for knockoffs to flood the market. Have you/anyone else heard of anyone getting a counterfeit?  

+1 @ozzy 

Be open to rearranging your components to fit your power cables ! And using creative supports to keep them from falling out of the c14 inlets. 

@macg19 Like @soix I definitely have no intentions of replacing my Acoustic Zen's. I recently upgraded my DAC, and these XLR's and speaker cables allowed all that increased resolution and detail to reach my ears yet most importantly in a musical way, not in a "hi-fi impressive for 5 minute way". I have been listening to my kit for 8-10 hours a day lately- I think I am almost there 😎
