ZU event (version 1) speaker cables on sale/closeout

It's hard to believe I only have about 30-40 hours on these cables and not the "needed" 400 hours to have them sound their best. The bass is now on par with the rest of the frequencies. Everything is very evenly proportioned, strength-wise.

I feel sorry for my neighbors. :-)

I just had to turn it down some because of the large dynamic swings I'm getting (time to turn it back up now....). Where was I? Oh yeah, tight and tuneful, delicate when called for, deep and super wide soundstage. I'm not one to get picky about soundstages as I enjoy the tone, timbre and timing aspects but there's one recording I have where this has never happened: while the singer is lulling me center stage, the guitarist appears to be sitting down as he's now about a foot below the speaker (which is on 24" stands and about 1.5' to the side of the right speaker. This has never happened on my rig. Horn players are about 5' high and 2' feet past the speaker. This happens in both directions, when called for. 
It's basically out in all directions as I can hear the notes dissipate left, right, high and low. 

It seems that there's some really good timing elements with these cables. Or maybe it's that phase thing that some cables makers brag about. All I can say it's very, very coherent, allowing for a more accurate recreation. If it gets better after another 360 hours, I'll commit myself.

All the best,

They got better. Bass is deeper and more defined. Highs are airier and still not the least shrill. Mids are completely intact with just a soupçon of warmth: your system will dictate just how much, not the cables. 

What they do best is completely (to these ears) open everything up to be heard. Some could listen and say the balance is off a bit here or there (I wouldn't), or the bass could be more fulsome (I'm only using two way monitors and what I do get is amazing), but the music is the most complete I've heard in my system. I'm not talking an overabundance of detail at the expense of anything, just a complete portrayal for one to behold. These cables allow me to just relax and at times, marvel, appreciate or fall into a reverie without any critical assessment. Time after time.

I must go off on a tangent here and give credit to the speakers (Clearwave Duet 6 monitors) for having a most transparent crossover as the smoothness in the transitions from highs to lows is faultless and only compliments the cables. Lots of synergy at play here, not one part compounding another, leading in misdirection, but complimenting another, leading in direction.

So far I have do doubts, suspicions or incertitude in them. It's like the cables are made out of air, silly as it may sound. 

All the best,
Nonoise

nonoise -

superb incremental review(s). Now I want a set. Thanks for sharing. And your use of incertitude as well  ;)
