New Zu Mission cable

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.

Can any of you comment how Mission compare to Cardas, Audience, etc. given the lack of reviews or information on the net.
Thanks,

Wow, the only cable line they offer now is Mission, per their new website. Very interesting.... maybe Mission is the launch of a new cable line up? I wonder why they dropped the other lines outright.

On Facebook, Zu mentions two new cable lines - Event and Ride. My Mission are sitting in local customs waiting for me to pay import taxes.
