Zavfino

@audphile1

I recommend you to step up to Zavfino Fusion RCA, to me Fusion holds the sweet spot in terms of performance and offers you a nice blend of both pure silver and OCC copper.

I have a set of the Arcadia RCA on the way also and the Prima MKII speaker sables @audphile1 

If the Arcadia fall flat compared to what I currently have then I may try the Fusion @lalitk 

Been a Cardas guy for many years in my main system.'

We will soon see shipping Monday I am excited to give this brand a shot. 

@audphile1 : I don’t think there is any difference in price between 1.0 and 1.5 meter length on Acadia. So you might as well order the standard 1.5 meter.

@juanmanuelfangioii please share your thoughts once you get it. 
@thyname 1.5m is a bit too long - have a cable mess already just like most of us. But yes something to consider for sure  

@audphile1 and the rest of you folks I just received my shipment of Zavfino cables.

Interconnect are the Arcadia and speaker cables are the Prima MKII. I will be connecting the interconnects this evening and the speaker cables before I go to bed.

I will say that the product presentation and packaging is all top shelf. It rivals or exceeds all premium brands I have purchased in the past such as Cardas and Transparent. The cables came packed in an anti static anti radiation? envelope. Inside this envelope is a nylon zipper bag that contains a black drawstring bag with the cables in them.

Presentation is first class all the way and at these prices why would one even think about spending the same amount of money for an offshore knock off of a premium brand.

That is all for now. Though Zavfino has processes from pre-burn in I am going to let these run for 3 days before I give them a critical listen.

Have a great rest of your day.

Deep Cryo™ Treatment
All of the conductors used in our cables undergo Deep Cryo™ treatment before the insulation is extruded over the metals. Our research has proven that the conductor—and only the conductor— benefits from cryo-treatment. Materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC™), Teflon™, PE, and Silicon™ can all be adversely affected by cold-temperature annealing. Cryo-treating non-conductors and insulating materials can cause them to break down and become brittle.
The purity, size, and molecular structure of each conductor determine the specific temperature within the -186ºC to - a 196ºC range that we cryo-treat it at. Zavfino’s research into cold temperature physics has proven that the absolute lowest temperature is not necessarily the best for cryo-treatment.
This is a two-stage process. In the first stage we draw the bare conductor through a ceramic die into an ultrasonic cleaning chamber that bombards the conductor with multiple ultrasonic frequencies. This emulsification process removes all debris from the surface of the wire down to the molecular level and leaves absolutely zero residues.

UltraSonic 7 High Voltage / Thermal Break-in
This is a two-stage process. In the first stage we draw the bare conductor through a ceramic die into an ultrasonic cleaning chamber that bombards the conductor with multiple ultrasonic frequencies. This emulsification process removes all debris from the surface of the wire down to the molecular level and leaves absolutely zero residues. After each individual wire is processed, we strand it into bundles and then subject the bundles to further treatment. During the second stage of the ultrasonic burn-in, we increase the voltage to a higher level that’s just below the threshold of the conductor. This adjustment in temperature allows us to get a unique “break-in effect” normally associated with cables that have had 30 to 40 hours of signal and/or current run through them.
