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

A good company would fix the cable, no matter how many times has been changing hands and abused/ used / raped. Crossing fingers Raymond comes through for you 🤞🤞🤞

@sdl4,

In my system, Arcadia leaned towards warmer presentation whereas Fusion had more balanced sound. With Arcadia, you get the warmth of copper and top end sparkle synonymous with silver conductors. Since my system already has a slightly warmer presentation, I end up preferring Fusion over Arcadia. In my opinion, both cables are quite capable of rendering upper details, gorgeous mid-range and low level bass as long as your system is up to the task. 

What is worth pointing out here is Zavfino uses PC-OCC copper which yields to absolute transparency, tonality and naturalness that often lacks in cables made from OFC.

@lalitk,

Thanks for the very helpful comments! I seem to be very sensitive to "brightness" and prefer a slightly warmer presentation in my system, but I don't want the high end to sound rolled off or excessively softened. From your comments, it looks like the Arcadia interconnects still provide a reasonable amount of upper-range detail.

In describing the design differences between Arcadia and Fusion, an email from Raymond at Zavfino USA says "The Fusion is a hybrid design of solid pure silver and PCOCC single crystal copper whereas the Arcadia is just OCC copper." Do you know the difference between PCOCC and OCC copper?

Thanks again for your help!
