Zu Druid Cable Question


I've made the decision to order the Druids and will be driving them with an Onix sp3 at 38 wpc (approx.) As a budget buyer, I also build my own cable using the Belden 10 AWG. and premium Banana plugs.

Would you suggest I spend alot more for the Zu Cable? or will I have only marginal improvement? I'm certainly not a golden ear, and my hearing falls off dramatically in the lower woofer range and upper mid to tweeter. But still great thru the mids for my favorite listening of vocals and accoustic guitars.

Thanks all

Stick with your Belden for a start. Get real friendly with your Druids. Listen to oodles of tunes that you are real familiar with. You have 60 days to listen before your moneyback guarnatee expires. If you start with the Druids, as well as their cables, you won't have a referent. Then, after living and loving your Druds: go from there. I don't think you are going to want to change your speaker cable. Source, amp, maybe? No golden ears? You're a lucky guy. That may save you oodles. If you find that you are not happy with your Druids, it won't be due to your speaker cable. fwiw. peace, warren

btw, I use their Ibis cable with my Definitions. Remarkable, pariculary at very low listening volumes.
I have listened to mine with the Zu WAX, Libtec, and Ibis. I enjoyed them with all, but there is a definite improvement in performance as you move up from the different levels.

Keep an eye out on ebay, Zu regularly has the Wax cables for auction. If you want the others, you have to purchase directly from Zu, or buy used.
There is a pair of used Ibis for sale here on Agon for $550. IMHO This would be a great upgrade.
Thanks to Warrenh and Ton1313. I've decided to spend alot of the break-in time with the Belden cable as well as Anticable. I will post a follow-up after as the burn-in progresses.

Along with the Onix amp I will be using an Eastsound CD-E5 as a source.
Fasten your seatbelt. You're in for a wonderful ride with those Druids. Enjoy and keep us posted. peace, warren :)
