@ortodox - Zavfino is one of the better cable makers. I have studied their cable fabrication methods and to me their science is valid.
They are one of the few cables I would recommend because of the approach and ,materials they use.
The science behind cable design can get very complex and does impact perofrmance e.g.
- wire metals - i.e. copper vs. UP-OCC copper vs. silver
- wire types - stranded vs. solid and which gauge to use
- dielectric values of the various insulations
- varoius cable geometries
- connectors
Zavfino seems to have a very good grasp of all of the above and come up with some great designs that will actually work very well, incorporating
- very low noise
- fast dynamic response
- excellent seperation
- natural sounding (no colouring of the sound)
- expansive imaging
The cables you mentioned is one of theri best, so you really can’t go wrong
Are there better cables out there? - YES - but they will cost a lot more and their improvements over your cables would be marginal !
Hope that helps - Steve
