Let us know how it sounds.

ASI Livelines are the best interconnects I've tried as well and have been a mainstay. Have not gotten around to trying it as a digital cable however but should be interesting.

Please chime in regardign their speaker cables once you have some experience.

On the Stereovox XV2 Ultra digital cable, I decided to get the Modwright mod for my Oppo BDP83 so canceled my order.

My local ASI dealer dropped off sets of spkr, power and ic cables for me to audition. I had to postpone the audition due to home remodeling until now.

Overall I found the ASI Liveline cables to be excellent ... sound is clean, focus, not fuzzy and open.

Compare to my Synergistic Apex speaker cable, I found the Apex has more body, ambiance, bass ... more natural sounding ... I prefer my SR. On the power cord, compare to my ESP Reference the ASI was clearer but seems to limit current. Music flow more at ease and more information with the ESP.

I could easily live with either but the differences are not worth changing in my system.

XLR connections in my system are much superior to RCA and the dealer only has RCA ICs so comparison was tough. Overall I prefer my Zu Varial XLR to the ASI Liveline RCA in my system BUT (big BUT) I could tell that the ASI are superior. The ASI was less congested, cleaner, less fuzzy ... I would like to audition a XLR ASI Liveline in the future and possibly replace my Varials.

Haven't heard the Zu, but have Zu Varials. In my system I tried Cardas Neutral Ref, the Stereovox VX2, Signalcable silver resolution and i2 digital X-60 (Chris Sommovigo, the guy behind the Stereovox) and I preferred the Cardas. YMMV
