Analysis Plus vs. Harmonic Technology

Acoustic Zen and Harmonic Tech are basically made the same way with the same designs and materials/same company (because of the business partners) so I would be surprised if they sound any different.
As far as the differences between Harmonic Tech Pro-9/Pro Silway II and Analysis Plus, it is night and day. The Harmonic Tech cables are so much better then the Analysis anything it is not even a comparison. Much more depth, detail, and neutrality. I have had many chances to listen to both lines extensively and I am certain about what I said. But you know how it is, your mileage may vary. The
Harmonic Tech cable, the Precisions, are a better comparison to the Analysis. The Harmonic Tech cables are the best that I have ever heard for anything close to the price.

I use the HT pro-9 speker cables and am totally satisfied. I use both the pro silway II and truthlinks. The silways worked well for me between the amp and pre (VTL) and in the phono side of the system (where they still reside) but they produced a nasty glare and lacked body when used from the cd playerc (ACR CD-2). The truth links were definately fuller and more musical in that locaion though lacking in a little of the detail that the silways provided. In my system the truth links tend to work better overall and they are a lot cheaper. try em both.

Have not heard the HT, but AP is horrible. Just swapped out at a friend's home, his AP Silver into Stealth UR. He was complaining that he did not enjoy his turntable, well we found out the reason.

The difference is night and day, literally, the AP smears the timing, distorts the soundstage, and the tonality is harsh, and the stings sounds stringent and lacked of warm. With better cable, everything falls in place, and we were able to then diagnose the turntable VTA, VTF, etc. With the AP, can't even hear the proper VTA setting. That's how bad.

System consists of Lyra, YBL, and Sonus Faber Guarneri, not a cheap system.

I used to use HT Pro9 and Silway II in my system, and also heard it in a friends system. I have switched over time from Pro9 to AP's 9 gauge copper speaker cable (I forget the name). Basically, the HT speaker cable sound is more neutral and clear but also, at least to my ear, sounds a little bit artificial. I prefer the AP sound generally, with it's greater harmonic information, even though I think there may be a slight sacrifice of detail (actually it sounds more natural to me). The HT had good bass but the AP had deeper richer bass.

I tested the AP hybrid silver/copper interconnects and liked them a lot, slightly better than the Silway II, but ultimately preferred my Quattrofil. I tested the AP hybrid silver/copper 12 gauge speaker cable and found it a bit more detailed in the treble but less natural and less bass than the AP 9 gauge copper speaker cable, so I stuck with the AP 9 gauge. I eventually bi-wired the 9 gauge. Talk about bass!

I don't have any experience with HT, but found AP-9's to be a huge disapointment. Some describe it as nuetral & smooth. I found it to be veiled lacking detail & dynamics. Believe it or not, my AQ midnight III blew it out in every respect. Perhaps it would be a good match in an overly bright system, but I even doubt that.
