Decision Time: Zu Wax or Z Passion spkr. cables
I'm in agreement with Ton1313. You can't go wrong with the Zu Wax. I am not familiar with Z cable stuff so I'm not able to comment. I have had several other top quality speaker cables and the Wax is significantly better. There is an auction for an...

Virtual Dynamics Recall
I received yesterday my cryo'd Power3 extension and splitter( 3-way power connector) After initial plugging in of T.V. and cable box, picture was slightly blurry and sound from a good cable channel( Encore,Sundance,etc) was ssslightly constricted.... 
How good is Electraglide?
I said my 2 cents in another thread, but I feel that Electraglide needs to make it clear to the public and all concerned that they should deal directly with dealers. I don't understand how a manufacturer can do both.When you buy a new car, you don... 
Virtual Dynamics Recall
Haven't received yet. Brett didn't give me a time-line so I'll give him a call if not in this week. I'll keep you posted when they arrive and their performance. 
Best Component Video Cable for 200 or less?
I didn't know Acoustic Zen had Component video, only S-Video.I second the motion of Ton and go with the Zu Cable Megular. They are on auction weekly in Audiogon and Ebay. I just bought one to replace my decent Monster Cable version and the Megular... 
The WOW factor in Acoustic Zen interconnects...
I have owned both and both are amazing for their price. I sold my WOW's and still have the Matrix from pre/pre to amp. The consences is that the WOW is about 85% of the Matrix. The WOW lacks that ultimate extension in both bass and treble but it a... 
What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE???
Yes Viridian, you are pushing 50 if not there already.Do you know what happened to Harold Beveridge? I would imagine he has passed on as he was in his mid to late 60's when I met him in 1979. What happened to his speaker line? As my faint memory r...

Very frustrated with Electraglide - Poor service
There seems to be a consensus that it is difficult dealing with this manufacturer.That is why they have dealers and although I've not had the pleasure or displeasure of dealing directly with Electraglide, I've had all completely positive communica... 
Do power cords really matter?
My " golden ears" tell me that a good power cord makes a significant if not huge difference.It is debateable if they make a bigger difference than the interconnects, but so as not to make an argument, I'll say they both make substantial difference... 
What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE???
Whatever happened to the Beveridge electrostatic speakers? They were beautiful 7 ft' towers with direct-coupled tube amps that although were lacking in dynamics, had a very seductive sound. Is the originator Harold Beveridge still around? I sold h... 
Speaker cable for BW Nautilus 803
Try the Zu Cable Wax. I have them on my B&W N804's and they have never sounded better. I also have AZ ic's on pre/pro to amp. Check out www.zucable.com and click on reviews.

Anyone tried the new and improved Zen matrix?
Greg, how are your new,upgraded Matrix's sounding. I just got word from Jaguar that he really likes his new Matrix now that it has sufficiently broken in.I really like my new Matrix from pre/pro to amp. I never heard the older version but I'm cont...
