What does everyone think of Zu Cables Wax?

Let me mention my "usual suspects" who you may be searching for, without knowing it.
Check out realitycables.com which is also represented through Clearsound/Reimer ads here on Audiogon. Greggstraley (Audiogon username) is delivering the more impresssive performance you seek, rather than what might be assumed due to his moderate pricing. Plus, you get to speak with the designer himself if you call the website phone number.
He was able to displace even the mighty Alpha-Core Goertz MI-3 Divinity speaker cables that preceded my set from Reality.
If you would like to contact another designer-manufacturer whose wiring is splendid, yet modestly priced, I can also recommend Auricle Audio Design's Joemazzaglia (Audiogon username). Some of his auction prices, and even list prices, are so low that you can keep within the tightest budget and still feel you are hearing the best from your setup.
Both men are perfectionist audiophiles who have their own distinctive design approaches.
Even allowing for individual preferences, these are two successful approaches to wiring.

The Wax are fine cables, but if you can swing the cash, Libtec or Ibis is the way to go. 10' Ibis sold here on Agon used for $550. Great Deals to be had.

I feel your best option would be to call Zu and talk to Sean or Adam. Explain what you are currently using and what you hope to achieve. They will not lead you down the wrong path, as their main concern is customer satisfaction.
If after this conversation you decide to try the Zu products, they do offer a satisfaction gaurantee, and you wouldonly be out shipping charges.

Cheers

Reality Cable, Greg Straley, I am having him rewire my HT, I use Purist Dominus/Venustas for my 2-channel. The Straley cables are the "real deal"

Owned the Kimber, Wax, the Anitcables and now the Reality Cables.

IMHO, the Kimber was the bottom of the barrel, they just seemed to drain the life out of the music.

The Wax are not bad, fairly warm, pretty good bottom end, but I didnt feel they delivered the detail I wanted.

I liked the Anticables alot, good detail and overall sound. Probably a bit light on the bottom but not horrendously so. For the price, I think they're incredibly good cables. Pm me if you're interested in a set at a good price ;-)

Finally, the Reality Cables. Certainly more expensive then the Anticables but worth every penny. Using a trite phrase, they punch WAY above their weight(price). They are transparent and deliver all the goods, detail bottom end, airy highs. I think they're great.

If your budget is tight, I'd recommend the Anticables. If you can afford to spend a bit more, the Reality Cables are well worth trying (he's got a 30 or 45 day trial period). I don't think you'll return them if you give them a try.
