What does everyone think of Zu Cables Wax?

I recently traded my Naim amps for a YBa Passion, and my speakers are Audio Physic Virgos. I need to find speaker cables to replace my Naim cables. I bough some cheapo Belden wire recently, but it doesn't do it for me, so I guess I am beginning to think that there may be something to cables afterall. I have been considering Kimber 8TC, Oval 9, and Anti-cables. I'm somewhat intrigued by Zu- does anyone have any experience with these cables, aprticulalrly the Wax model.

When I owned the Passion, Bruce, I used Sonoran Plateau speaker cables. Though thick, they were amazing. Detailed, open at the top--the whole nine of grandiloquent adjectives. They (Starsound Technologies) have a money back guarantee policy. You cannot beat that with a stick. Now, I'm using Zucable's Ibis speaker cables that are very synergistic with my speakers. Don't you love that Passion, Bruce? peace,warren :)

I own the wax an liked them very much, especially for the price. I have Kubala-Sosna in my system and these are definately better but you can get wax at $250 used verses $2500 used for the Zu Wax. They are clear and have good punch, I think the KS are much more detailed.

HI Warren,

I do like the Passion a lot, and have sold my Naim amps. I was using Naim wire, bu it was chewed by a new puppy! Right now I'm using some generic Belden wire frm Blue Jeans cable that people rave about, but so far it's pretty mediocre.

I can't use a super thick cable, and I don't want to spend a fortune (I need a 15 foot set!). I've been considering Kimber 8TC, Anticables, Oval 8, and Zu so far.
Any other suggestions?

Bruce, you can't go wrong with Kimber 8TC, you should also consider Alpha Core Goertz MI 2's. They are very balanced from top to bottom and offer excellent clarity.
