Who knows about ACOUSTIC ZEN?

Oh yeah. In my system as well as my friend's we each separately found that the cables introduced a quality which he called excessive "sugar coating" and I called an "overly sweet quality which sounded better than real". I still think the original JPS Superconductor is the interconnect buy of the century if you value a neutral cable. I have tried many cables, including cables up to and over $2000/meter and haven't found anything which beats it overall. If it produced a broader soundstage, it would just be about perfect.

AZ is easy to like. I can't imagine going too far wrong with it, but it's not a cureall to a flawed system.

I am running a biwired set of Satori shotguns between a Bryston integrated and Soliloquy 5.0's. The Satori replaced a singled run of Tara MasterGenII and some crappy jumpers. The Satori is a small improvement, mostly because the jumpers are gone. As most people say, it's an open, neutral wire.

I also like Tara Labs cables a lot, so besting the MGII was not easy. FWIW, I have not been impressed by Analysis Plus or Cardas (although I haven't heard higher end Cardas), and I consistently find Kimber too zippy up top.

Rayhall is right on with the description that it gives you the sensation that there is nothing between you and the music. It also give me the illusion that you get more of a you are there feeling like you are in the same room as the performance, it seems to charge the air around you with energy. I have tried a lot of diffrent cables some very expensive, all the big names, and was always getting to much of a good thing in some areas and lacking in others. With the Zen wires I feel it just gets it right. I have done a lot of comparing of diffrent interconnects in particular, and the Silver Ref interconnect simply passes more information through than any other cable I have tried. The powercords are incredible, easily bettering my King Cobras. The digital is also fantastic. I now own all Acoustic Zen and haven't bought a cable in months.
