One other suggestion if I may…you can pickup a pair of 1m Absolute Copper used between $900-$950. If you don’t like it, sell. With the cable co it will be 5% charge from the retail cost. That’s going to add up quickly. And to be perfectly honest the new MSRP for these cables is ridiculous. Just something to think about.
Also…let me know if you would like me to message you my dealer info.
Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects
I currently have the Cardas Clear interconnects and speaker cables in my system. I demoed several AES cables from The Cable Co. and the Acoustic Zen Absolute 110 AES/EBU cable won the shootout.
Has anyone compared the Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper interconnects with Cardas Clear interconnects? I would like to hear your impressions and this includes any Acoustic Zen speaker cables vs. “Cardas Clear” speaker cables too. At some point, I would like to demo the Acoustic Zen cable loom from The Cable Co., (e.g., Hologram II or Absolute speaker cables). I’m on cruise control with HiFi purchases for a little while, however, I like the Absolute 110 AES cable so much, I might want to pursue the Acoustic Zen interconnects and speaker cables at some point.
I know I have to demo the cables in my setup to form my own opinion, but I’m interested in your impressions if you’ve compared the aforementioned.
Thanks in Advance!

@audphile1 I am very familiar with the Cable Co. 5% loan program. I have to demo it first because if I don’t like it, I’m out of $100 or so bucks vs. buying it used and trying to sell it. BUT, if I like it, I plan to buy it used. Yes, please send me the contact information for your hifi dealer. Thanks! |
Appears you already know the answer to your own question. When it comes to cables, I've found its almost pointless to compare with other people's systems, rooms, speakers. Best to use CableCo or a local dealer to try it, as you are considering now. People hear differently, so that's a gap too, in consideration.

@decooney I couldn’t agree more, but it’s always fun to hear some insight from the community who may own the product of interest. There have been times where there is the same theme going around about a product from hifi reviewers and actual owners. That still doesn’t mean the product will be the same in your system, but a consistent positive or negative about a product could have some validity to it. I experienced that with the AGD Productions class D amps. Most reviewers and owners spoke highly of them with similar adjectives. They are everything that I read about them! Thanks! |
