Thanks, folks. Very good recommendations. I'm leaning toward AZ Tsunami or Cullen at the moment.
Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen
As I mentioned in another thread, I am looking to make one or two upgrades to my system this year. Total budget is around $500 - 600. My current system is:
B&W CM10
Parasound A21
Cambridge Audio Azur 851D (preamp + DAC)
Cheap Audioquest wires (I think I paid around $50 for an 8 ft pair).
The two speaker cables that I've seen mentioned a lot here are Clear Day and Acoustic Zen Sartori. I almost pulled the plug on a pair of used AZ Sartori a week ago, but it was sold before I could make an offer.
There are other AZ Satoris on sale here at agon but they're all over 8 ft, which is not what I want.
However, I see that for the same $$$ for used AZs, I can get brand new Clear Day Double Shotguns.
Has anybody compared these two in their systems? Given that B&W is generally considered to be a tad bit on the bright side, I wonder if the silver in Clear Day might not be the best choice?

Oleschool, I am also a fan of Acoustic Zen. Robert Lee has also been a big help to me. I have AZ cables on everything. If you are using Tsunami power cords you may want to try some Krakatoas. I really noticed improvements in sound quality with them. On my amps I have Gargantuas IIs, these power cords are the size of fire hoses and don't restrict any power. |
