Zensati Cables

A relatively new name to me. This is a range of 3 grades of cables, using silver or gold coated OHNC copper cables, from Denmark.

I went to a show in the UK at the weekend and the owner was there demonstating them with a hard disc front end, SS electronics, I'm afraid I can't remember which and Gamut speakers.

The system was unremarkable, the sound was frankly, astonishing, absolutely crystal clear. neutral, lightning fast. Most people in the room were well, astonished.

Ominously, the guy would'nt give an indication of price, partly because he was seeking a distributor at the show and he would partly set the price. I expect it will run from very expensive to HOW MUCH!

Still, in as far as you can single out the influence of cables, they seemed quite remarkable.

Anyone else heard cables from this company? To date they seem strongest in South East Asia and parts of northern Europe. I have no connection with this company.

Pops,

I don't think you and I are the only ones.......

I was at dinner with a local audiophile society and everyone said they had stopped trolling the site, especially the new today section, too bad it was a great place, and for a little while may still be the best place to sell high end gear. I'm just not sure how much longer it will remain relevant.

@David12 That's expensive, but not an insane price.

It can be thrilling to buy such things, and money allocation is a personal choice, but it’s insane. I make and sell a high-tech product, and this kind of markup applied to most any non-audiophile product would be insane.

Audiophilia contains the elements of obsession, addiction, magical thinking, and craving insanely priced exotica delivers a magical “high.” It attracts charlatan providers. A formula for making a million dollars is to distort sound in some way, clear $2000 on each item with the promise of magic, and convince 500 people that your "different" is "magic."

Electroslacker, I am not necessarily implying that profit is excessive, the material content is expensive in these cables. There comes a point where ancillaries, like cables, become overkill, in the context of the overall cost of ones system.

I am not talking here, of an arbitrary 10% cost of cables to the rest of the system, I don't believe in fixed percentages. I can think of several costly accesories which have greatly improved my enjoyment. Nordost QX4 comes to mind
