Paradigm persona vs. Monitor audio Platinum

Brandon, 

Here is another perspective. First a bit of background we have been dealing with cables for a very long time. 

Our dealership started with Harmonic Tech, and then we moved to Acoustic Zen which was designed by Robert Lee who also designed Harmonic Tech first. The Acoustic Zen cable was better.

We then moved to Synergistic and Audio Quest, both of these wires were better. 

Lastly we moved to Nordost and then finally to Wireworld which was the best out of the wide ranging manufacturers.

The type of wire is just one element of a cables construction, most cable from the major companies use six nines or greater quality copper or silver which means that any impurities in the wire have been eliminated.

Your choice of dielectric,  shielding materials, alloy types, wire construction all matter as much as just the type of copper.

Brandon you should try to borrow other wire companies and judge for yourself.

First of all audio Troy not all companies use OCC single crystal wire.MIT and transparent don't and their wires sound awful and the companies you're saying all charge a fortune for it and acoustic Zen was never better than harmonic tech and Brandon if you want another good company try neotech, their parent company supplies mostly everybody with OCC single crystal wire. There's only three companies in the world that are licensed to produce OCC single Crystal 2 in Japan and one in Taiwan which is neotech.And don't let audio Troy tell you that anything ofc is going to be better than OCC cuz it's been proven for 30-40 years not to be the case. And as for manufacturing like I said neotech makes OCC cable for pretty everybody so it's all manufactured the same way now.the only difference you're going to get ripped off by companies like audioquest who are charging a fortune for single Crystal. Neotech and Harmonic Technology are the most reasonably priced the other ones are very expensive.

And audio Troy which harmonic text stuff was acoustic Zen better better than the magic better than the truth link better than Pro silway. Because I know for a fact and I have the magic 3rd generation and the pro 9 SE 3rd generation that nothing acoustic Zen made was better than that.and I compared the two so I should know and he only charged a lot more.

And stop lying to Brandon Troy most companies are not using six nines or greater because in copper there is only six nines that's the purest, 7 nines is in silver so get your facts straight.

And like I said the construction now has been perfected using air tubes that isolate inside the wire individually insulated wires so if you want to overpay with audioquest go right ahead but if you want is good quality go to harmonic tech or neotech call me because neo take makes the wire for pretty much everybody.
