Zavfino


Many nice gents in this site, highly reputable common folks audiophiles like @lalitk @wig and others have mentioned these, so it’s probably time to create a specific thread on Zavfino, a direct sales cables company based in Canada with presence ‘ distributors in US, also direct:


I took the advice of these folks with a power cord, the Prima MK2

I could not be happier with this cord, something that would easily cost $2,000 or even $3,000 from other better known cable makers. It’s outstanding, for about $500. Absolutely amazing build, and packaging too. It sounds great, very quiet. I am sure the cheaper PC, the Majestic at $390 is very good too: 
I now have the Prima speaker cables on my way. Call me “sold”.

No BS, truly top quality cables company that flies under the radar. Very affordable too. Take a look. No relation to the company, just a happy first time customer, thanks to my Audiogon friends here

Although the Zavfino products sound good upon arrival I'm thinking 150 hours of play time with no movement is pretty much what is needed. Systems will vary like anything else.

The Hijiri Nagomi is excellent and I'd definitely rate it above the very good Zavfino line of power cords, but of course it costs more.

I agree the Hijiri Nagomi cabling sounds great but is also expensive. The  Zavfino sounds very good and is more reasonably priced. Back in the late 1990s (if my memory serves me correctly) I had a full loom of the Harmonix HS-101 Golden Performance, which I believe is manufactured by the same company (Combak Corporation) and at that time was their top of the line.

I agree, a lot of bang for the buck there. I purchased THE MAJESTIC MKII OCC POWER CABLE 12AWG and use it with my Luxman 590 AXII and Allnic T-1500. I also like the Audio Envy M6 power cord on the same equipment.
I'm completely comfortable with the musical taste and listening skills of several of you that I have gotten to know through Audiogon, with that said I just ordered a pair of the Fusion (RCA) IC’s. I'll use it with the set up that I have my Majestic MKII power cord in. 
@lalitk  can you give me an idea on the Fusion interconnect break in time? That will give me an idea of how long to leave them on my cable burner.
I just received my pair of Fusion interconnects. I noticed there is not a direction arrow, does that mean that these are non-directional? Just continue to always use them in the same direction regarding input and output?
Thanks to those that answered my question. As lalitk said one should install Fusion RCA cable with Direction ‘shells’ farthest from source component. You will find these metal shells mounted closer to RCA connectors on one end, that end needs to go on preamp or amp input.
@thyanme, yes I confirmed with Zanfino USA.
I'll leave it on my cable burner through Tuesday. 
@danmar123 
It will be interesting to hear your thoughts on the Fusion interconnects.

thyname is correct with his time break-in statement above.

@ozzy I hope the power cord for your Niagara 1200 is a keeper, please let us know your thoughts.
This is a brief follow-up to my post above 10/14/21The Fusion Interconnect: solid pure silver & OCC copper (RCA) 1.5/M ($310)
The Fusion interconnects arrived in a timely fashion, very professionally packaged and pleasing to the eye. After some time on my cable cooker and playing time in my system I can tell you these are keepers and I recommend them to you.
I find the Fusion interconnects to be very open, transparent, and natural sounding. The extension is very good with solid bass, open mids, and correct timbre. The sound stage is wide and deep with a tightly focused sound stage.

I do know that ozzy does his research and then goes above and beyond the call of duty when he is assembling power cords and spares no expense ;-)

It will be interesting to hear his impression of the Zavfino power cable after fully broken in and used in one location without moment.

@digsmithd I'm glad to hear that you are liking what you are hearing with the Zavfino products. Results will vary for people depending on the components used and listening skills. I don't believe there is any one correct order of which cables to upgrade :-)

As far as I know, and remember from their website customized items cannot be returned should you decide you don’t care for them. As thyname mentioned above, it never hurts to call Raymond at Zavfino USA and inquire.

@xcool I think you would be very happy with one of the Audio Envy power cords, they sound good, are very lightweight, and are very flexible.

 

@derekw_hawaii As opposed to the Silver Dart (by the way I really like Zavfino products) I highly recommend you take a look at the Vouge Audio power cord including their interconnects and speaker cables. Currently on sale and I have been extremely impressed with the products, fast turnaround time, and free shipping USPS. Very helpful if you have questions, open to emails or phone conversations. In my opinion a hidden treasure, I compare them to my Grand Lavricables 5N Silver cables.
