Update: I bought a set of Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun cables and compared them to DH Labs Q-10. No contest. The DH Labs sounded good until I compared them to the Acoustic Zen cables. The AZ Satori Shotguns image is much more natural, open, transparent, and has better instrument placement and depth. Another significantly noticeable area of improvement was in the bass and in the tightness of things like kick drums and otehr learding edge transients. The DH labs for the money is still a major value leader. But more money defintely improved the sonics in my system.
