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.

@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

I am a bit late to this thread having only recently added Zensati to my system.
Back to the OP's comments that he heard amazing sound from an unremarkable system I concur with this 100%.

Placing just one Zensati no3 power cable into several friend's systems, usually into the preamp, lifted the whole musical presentation to jaw dropping levels. All those friends have a Zensati no3 now. Whilst I use two no3 power cords and a no2 IC in my vinyl rig:-)

I totally agree with Vmhf. This power cable is of something special. It opened up my system in a way more so than anything I have tried. For me, this has been the best valve up grade that really works. Are they insanely priced? Well, sometimes with our hobby, it is hard to define what is an justified spending and what has become an obsession. To me, just one on the pre-amp does it!
