Anyone tried the new and improved Zen matrix?

By the way,Jaguar.Have you tried other cables? I was curious if you had tried any of the Stealth cables.Also,do you prefer copper over silver and if yes,why? I have been told that silver is higher-voiced and copper is warmer-voiced,that silver has come a long way since the early days of being labeled with being strident and thin.I'd like your opinion and would either one be chosen based on system compatibility(i.e. silver good with tubes and copper good with solid state,etc) Thanks,Sherod

Sherod,
I just got a pair a AZ about 2 weeks ago. I've never heard the old style, but they beat my Transparent audio Super XL hands down. As they say, there was the lifting of a sheet of haze with these cables. More detail yet smoother, they where everything I could have hoped for.... and they are less expensive by 50% then the transparents. I am definetly off the transparent band wagon and on the Acoutic Zen. I am very happy with them, I am looking forward to replacing my trans speaker wire with AZ.

Jaguar, I would be very interested also. I have both the silver reference and the matrix reference (old style), if you happen to have the silver reference to compare them to also, I would love it!

Brm1,what do you have these connected to and how long did it take to break-in where you could fully realize the superiority over the transparent?

Sherod,
I have these hooked up to a Cary sli-80 integrated and a Cary 303/200 cdp. The cable had been "cooked" before I got them, but the dealer told me to run them another 48 hrs before I a/b. I ran them about 3 short days and then a/b. It did not take very long to figure out the AZ was a clear winner.
