Grover Huffman GH RCA ZX+ cables vs...

I can't comment on each of the brands you mention, although I have owned some Tara and AP. The ZX are definitely upfront and immediate in character- not exaggerated, but closer to live music than most. Not laid back, certainly, hence my warning about using them in overly aggressive systems.

I was thinking of using them for the connection of my Scoutmaster to the preamp. Does this seem like a reasonable application?

Do they limit the bass performance or exaggerate the highs JMBATkh

Thanks for the warning Jmbatkh. My system is not aggressive tonally, but I do not care for that immediate presentation. I prefer a mid-hall presentation over a front row seat. I like a soundstage with good depth. It sounds like the Huffman's are not for me.

My take on the Grover cables are just the opposite of
Jmbatkh. I started with the Grover "SC" cables
about 7-8 years ago. I sent those back to Grover to have
them upgraded to the "SX" series, then once again
about a 18 months ago to the new "ZX" series. So, I
have owned Grover cables for quite awhile now.

The two things that I will not stand for in my system is
brightness and an upfront (forward), in your face, sound.
The Grover's have none of this! They throw a very deep,
wide soundstage with excellent bass and high frequency
control. They do NOT have an immediate, upfront
sound...well, not in my system anyway.

They are some of the most open, warm, romantic, relaxed
cables that I have ever heard, without being boring or too
laid back. I LOVE them. I really think they are an
incredible deal and Grover gives a 60 day trial period.

I have stopped looking (and listening) to cables for the
foreseeable future.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
