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

Has anyone compared the Fusion to other similarly priced cables from other boutique cable mfrs (such as Triode, Lavricable, WyWires (lower tier), etc.)? Just curious.

For those who moved to Zavfino from AE, how does the overall sound compare? Also, where do you believe the sweet spot is in the Zavfino line up?

 

I have transitioned all but power cords to AE but now curious about making a change

AE is very good, great clarity, but the NV-9 SC I had was bass light - really needed a full loom with the prestige IC and PC to even everything out. This may not be true with the new 12 speaker cable.

I think the Nova SC/Arcadia IC/Fina PC should get you most of the Zavfino house sound. I couldn’t really tell a difference on my standmount speakers with Prima mkII and Nova SCs. Fusion had a little more detail than Arcadia in my system, but somewhat similar sound.

Zavfino cables have probably the strongest PRaT I’ve ever heard of any brand. It definitely imparts it’s signature on the music, but it’s a very stylish presentation.

I’d like to try a full loom of the Silver Dart, but Thyname made me think twice on this with his earlier comments in the thread.

Well, I have zero regrets with all Silver Darts in my system. And that was probably the gists of it all. I do have Prima speaker cables on the LF only (Darts on the HF), and a couple of power cords that are not Darts in my peripherals.

 

I’d add, give Darts a shot. Even if just one power cord, or one pair of interconnects

Damn, I had a feeling you were going to say that, lol. I wish I could make the Dart PC work in my current setup, but I’ll take your word for it - I do want to add in the SC/ICs. 
 

Raymond told me the Fina cords were much more flexible, so here’s hoping - I want to add a couple to my DAC and streamer. The Prima mkII PC was fantastic but man that thing was unwieldy.
