Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects

@dbt Cool, thanks for sharing. The Boomslang was one I was considering trying. I assume you know about Audio Bacon's review?- he loved it- it was the BNC not AES, but should be similar findings. He did state something to the fact that is wasn't the most transparent though, some quotes below: 

"So the first thing I noticed about this cable was how natural voices and instruments were presented. It didn’t exude “atmosphere” or “clarity” but it sounded raw, accurate, and unadulterated. In fact, this is the rawest sounding cable I’ve heard so far. It’s a very good thing. It’s also the cable that has rid me of the notion of how silver is supposed to sound. Along with the WAVE Storm Reference, this is one of the warmest sounding BNC cables I’ve reviewed so far. Both of which are made with 5N silver..... 

• Although the tradeoff for a richer sound is a less present treble, this isn’t the case with the Boomslang. It’s still able to allow cymbals and strings to shine appropriately.
• It’s not as quiet, treble present, speedy, or as resolving of the lower level details – but from a musicality standpoint, I feel it provides enough of those qualities.
• Not the most outwardly “dimensional” and “outlined” sound. Some reverb, reflections, and decays aren’t made as apparent – but are still very audible."

Just goes to show one has to try themselves. I wish I could add something regarding a AZ cables comparison but just had some older Transparent speaker cables and XLR's before them. 

@mclinnguy sorry…😂

but pretty sure the Hurricane will add body and weight. Keep us posted. 

@mclinnguy I am familiar with Audio Bacon’s review.  I read several forum comments about the Boomslang and I figured I’d give it a shot.  Just didn’t work for me in my system.

@steakster After my experience with the lower tiered Acoustic Zen MC2=Zen vs. the higher tiered Absolute 110, I’m confident a higher tired Synergistic Research AES cable would be a much better performer over the Foundation SX.  I didn’t want to break the bank with an AES cable.  It’s hard to audition a bunch of cables and gear.  It takes time, energy and money.  I wanted to try the Jorma AES cable, but the Cable Co. does not have it in their library.  My audiophile buddy had the Acoustic Zen Absolute cable and said he misses that cable after selling it.  He has the big boy tiered Synergistic Research now, but he still had high remarks about the Acoustic Zen that I ended up buying.

I wanted to try the Jorma AES cable, but the Cable Co. does not have it in their library.  

That's cuz I bought it - sorry 😁
