Grover Huffman GH RCA ZX+ cables vs...


At the $200/pair price point new or used, how does GH ZX+ cables compare to others like Greg Straley Reality cables, Gabriel gold (GG) revelation/raptures and alike...

I am looking for a cable that is neutral, and does not act as a filter in any way to highlight a certain portion of the music. From top to bottom it must allow the source material to come through..

Matt, I do not own any Virtual Dynamics cables or power cords any more. I have in the past, but I found their presentation to be much too forward for my tastes. They do have a nice tonal balance, and excellent dynamics, but I do not care for a large, flat, 2 dimensional soundstage that places me in the front row. I do know many who enjoy this type of excitement though.
I prefer a more laid back, 3 dimensional presentation, more like a mid hall perspective. I never heard the Genesis though. Revelation Signature was about as far up the VD line as I went.

Currently, I am using KCI Silkworm+ interconnects with Stealth Hybrid MLT speaker cables. Power cords are Elrod EPS-3S/2S, and RSA HZ Crown Jewel.
Jmcgrogan2 I hear what you are saying about Virtual Dynamics stage, It was more left to right pan with a wide image that didn't have much depth to it...
I think you should really give the Grovers a shot. I keep calling them technical cables, one of the reasons being the "3 dimensional presentation" you are looking for.
I wouldn't call the presentation mid-hall, maybe a few rows up but the depth of the stage brings you back to (I guess you could say) MID-HALL.

I know you didn't mention anything about the low end but after listing to the Grovers your further priority's just might change. You will be craving more....

O THE SWEET LOW END!
Grover Cables. I love 'em. I've run his IC's and speaker cable for years after trying this, that, and the other thing. Huffman cables enable me to turn my all tube system on and simply listen to music and never think about wires.

With his generous trial period what's to lose?

During that time, all those "flavor of the week guys" will have tried umpteen different cables and all their rants and raves will be very old news indeed, and their wallets much thinner.
As I have stated earlier on the Huffman thread, IMO Huffman cables are indeed good value for the money, but no more than that -- in spite of the cheerleaders and the marketing bravado. We see this sort of thing month in and month out, year in and year out on the forum. In the past I have been guilty of embarrassing exuberance (in retrospect) on behalf of a number of cable makers. No more.
When I look back to the days when I had Huffman cables in my system it's embarrassing reading my enthusiasm and effusiveness. This also goes for my enthusiasm for Synergistic Research cables and HiDiamond cables, among others. Things change. What sounded great yesterday is often relegated to the audio archives tomorrow.
