New Zu Mission cable

Did anyone have the opportunity to compare the very good Zu Mission speaker cables to the Events? I'm wondering how much better the Zus could get.

I'd be interested in the above question as well, though for my part I was not terribly impressed with the Missions when I had them.

Didn't you can the Mission SC?

I have bought Zu Audio cables new, used/demo and off of eBay. If someone pays $5 bucks and I pay $100 doesn't matter to me as much as what the value of the cable is in "my system". You get them 75% off - good for you, I hope you enjoy them! I paid 75% for Julians and I was giggling at the steal for the improvements it brought to my ears at the time.

If the cables are bought at a price then you must have felt they were worth that price at that time. If they bring equal or better than expected improvements to your system then what's the harm? Yes, if you had waited a year then they would have been cheaper. With that logic you can wait 10 years and get a steal at a garage sale but you'll miss out on some great music over that time period. As for dropping a quality product from my system because my neighbour got them cheaper, well that make no sense at all, to me.

I look forward to trying out new Zu products, at the price I'm willing to pay.

At the moment I have two analog interconnects - Blue Jeans Cable and Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference II.

Blue Jeans sounds in my system quite decent. It gives me dynamic, full-bodied sound, but a bit grainy and tones are not as nice as in my Acoustic Zen.

Acoustic Zen was my upgrade from BJC. It is smooth, provides more space, better soundstage, beautiful tones, more extention in bass and highs. It's musical, too! Unfortunately in my system this cable made mids, especially vocals, almost disappear! It's such a shame as I like almost everything about this cable. Well, maybe it could also have more resolution.

As BJC and AZ don't give me the sound I am looking for, I decided to look further. I've gone through lots of reviews and impressions of cables on audiogon and other websites.

Finally I've come across Zu Mission interconnect which is within my budget (500$) and looks promising.

Could you please tell me what the differences between Zu Mission and Acoustic Zen or BJC are? What is the sound characteristics of Zu Mission interconnect?

I'd appreciate your help as in my country I am not able to borrow too many cables for a trial.
