The AZ Satori's are hooked up and I'm breaking them in, but first impressions....much, much cleaner than the Monster XP. At higher volume there is no edginess, with more depth and a separation of instruments I have not heard before. Frequently when jazz trio or quartet members are playing competing riffs at the same volume, sounds often get smeared, not so with these cables.
I tried DH Labs T14's and they were just bright and thin sounding, no better definition compared to the AZ. The AZ sounds CLEAN and neutral. I've only been listening for 30 minutes or so, but they sound great and are giving me what I had hoped, accuracy with no edginess, no false sparkle. Accurate across the entire bandwidth is a great description so far.
More later.
