New Zu Mission cable


For some reason, the other thread on this subject was deleted. I wanted to hear from those who bought the new Mission cable during Zu's recent promotional period. I also would like to open up this thread to impressions of this cable once in your system.

I must say these are opening up really well. The bass is still awesome, feel and defined and the soundstage is growing in height and width. Mids are forward and overall my sound has improved over the Varial. 100 plus hrs Now I guess
Are these cable good on subs? Running IC from pre into Zu Presence speakers.
It seems, looking at their new website, that the Mission is the only cable line Zu are now making - as everything else (Libtech etc.) has vanished. Does anyone know anything about this?

Evidently Zu changed their business model. They still have Oxyfuel as their entry-level interconnect, but in most other cases the new Mission is priced about where mid-pack was in their previous lines, while outperforming even their former top line cables. Libtecs were about $1200/3M pair; Ibis was close to $2K/3M pair. Mission is only $399.

Likewise, the Mission interconnect at $299 is the equal or better of the previous top line Varial at around $500-600/1M pair.

They also stopped offering a few pair per week on eBay where you could get Varial, Libtec, Wylde, etc. for 20-40% (depending on the final auction price) of the prices on their online store.
