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!
Audio Bacon had a nice writeup of their AU24 SX power cord, and it makes me want to try one, but that's starting to get into stupid money territory IMO- I don't know why their power cord is 50% more money than their AU24 SX 6' speaker cables- I think for that amount I would just go with the Dragon- but I am good for 2024 me thinks. Thanks for your top 10 list @dbt - I haven't heard of most of those! |
Built your playlist @dbt Some of these songs I’m familiar with. On Till you can hear the bassist breathing during the solo. It’s a nice cover! |
@audphile1 Concerning the intermittent pops and static, AGD Productions and MSB have been very responsive and AGD has a gameplan to troubleshoot the situation. We’ll get it worked out. Yes, the Till Brönner tune is nice! @mclinnguy That playlist is not my top ten but they have been in my rotation lately. I hope you are able to enjoy some of them on your system! Ohhhh, the power cable adventure. This hifi upgrading and swapping of this and that will never end if we keep reading and listening to reviews. I love forums and reviews, but when I’m content with my system, I try to avoid a bunch of reviews because “sometimes” it makes my wheels start turning, “I wonder what that sounds like in my system?” Audio Bacon mentioned how he loved the Synergistic Research power cable too, but I can’t remember the model? I thought about pursuing a demo, but was content with my PC. I’m good with the AQ power cables. They are good for the money! |
