Zavfino
Many nice gents in this site, highly reputable common folks audiophiles like @lalitk @wig and others have mentioned these, so it’s probably time to create a specific thread on Zavfino, a direct sales cables company based in Canada with presence ‘ distributors in US, also direct:
I took the advice of these folks with a power cord, the Prima MK2
I could not be happier with this cord, something that would easily cost $2,000 or even $3,000 from other better known cable makers. It’s outstanding, for about $500. Absolutely amazing build, and packaging too. It sounds great, very quiet. I am sure the cheaper PC, the Majestic at $390 is very good too:
I now have the Prima speaker cables on my way. Call me “sold”.
No BS, truly top quality cables company that flies under the radar. Very affordable too. Take a look. No relation to the company, just a happy first time customer, thanks to my Audiogon friends here

With the reasonable prices and all the positive comments about Zavfino cables, I went ahead and ordered a pair each of the Fusion and Arcadia XLRs to try in my system. I've had the cables for only 2 days so they still need more break-in time and I can't make any definitive comments yet. However, my initial impressions of the Fusion XLRs are very positive. Even straight out of their packaging, the Fusions sound clear, open, and natural, with well-balanced sound and good tonal accuracy (e.g., a piano sounds like a piano). The Arcadia sounds pleasant, smooth, and forgiving, but the Fusion sounds more "real" in my system. If you haven't seen it yet, take a look at the very positive review of the Fusion interconnects and Nova speaker cables from 11/1/21 on the-ear. |
Thanks for sharing your impressions @sdl4 and thanks for pointing to that fairly recent review on Zavfino I was not aware of. Simple writing but to the point. I would also say, like I have said earlier, the Zavfino effect in one’s system is cumulative. The more you add in the chain, the better everything sounds as a whole. The full loom concept. So if you can, get some Nova or Prima speaker cables, Majestic or Prima power cords. Just my two cents |
Well, I just installed the Dart into my audio system after running it on my basement refrigerator for about 200 hours. I installed it on my JL CR-1 crossover since that unit affects both main amps and subwoofers. First impression: It definitely has a different sound perspective than my previous DIY cable. To me thus far it sounds like there is more upper midrange presence. So, it may take a while for me to get a handle on the sound. And, if I prefer it or not. ozzy |
Hey @ozzy -- I am very curious about your DIY cable you keep talking about. What kind of "DIY"? One of those buy ready on online and put together with the connectors, or something more elaborate? Do you mind sharing details, and how much you spent on it? Of course, minus your "labor" cost. Thank you |
