Zavfino and Neotech OCC Interconnect
Zavfino’s are just not that good.    Cerious is blowing out Matrix cables while they bring on the new Luminiscate line.  Grab a pair of those and try them for $500.    I went through all these cables in the last 14 months and now use Clarus, Cer... 
Help me pick some new or used speaker cables
I may have a pair of Clarus Aqua eight foot spades all around for sale in the next few days. Moving up the chain. I also have a pair of PAD tri-wire Venustas at 80ish inches, all spades. Both sets reasonably priced over there.....😉    
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
Anyone know the difference between Ver 1 and Ver 2 Matrix cables, particularly the speaker cables?  
Clarus Crimson vs Clear Beyond.
Yes. System dependent for sure. I really like Cardas cables but over time they were just a little too veiled.  Not restrictive, but I wanted more clarity up top. I did not want sizzle and I got that with some WW Silver Eclipse.  Tried a Crimson an... 
Anyone with experience having cables made using Amorphous Metals/Alloys
What is attractive to engineers is finding technology being used to "solve" the cable dilemma. I used single ended, but could not find used XLR, cables 3 years ago and they added some serious soundstage and clarity to the sound. Vastly different s...

Stealth Indra's are amorphous metal. Fantastic cables.  
Any Nashville enthusiasts?
I'm sending out an email today to some folks who I have been able to reach. Agon makes it almost impossible to reach out to one another. There is no intention of competing with the already established Nashville Audio Society, but they are on facec... 
Tube preamp match with Solid Stare amp
TMAC, I also have a Coda 8. Previously had a Don Sachs Model 2 preamp and they mated well but I could never eliminate the tube noise even with help from Don and using balanced cables (even though his xlr connectors were not balanced). I then purc... 
Any Nashville enthusiasts?
I'm willing to kick that off. I have a history of hosting 50 folks to all day home theater and stereo get-togethers back in MIchigan in the 2008-2012 years. We had a Michigan home theater group, HEMI. I don't have an HT these days but put all my S... 
Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000
I need to do a write up on my cable journey this year from Transparent, to Purist, to Kubala, then to Cardas. Technical term warning: I spent a crap-ton of money on cabling in 2023. And I'm actually not quite finished so more pain ahead.  
Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000
I tired some others but the Cardas Clear Beyond XLRs on my system are great. Here's a pair very nicely priced. I just bought those yesterday from Mr. Resnick (WBF). Moving up the Cardas chain now.

I'm considering selling my two Wizards. I don't seem to be gaining any positive effect from them. Well built and all, but not contributing to my environment.
