Speaker Cable to Replace Zu Cable Wax

Hi All,

A purchase of new speakers means I must replace my Zu Cable Wax Biwire speaker cables to a single-wire cable. If possible I would also like to 'upgrade' at the same time. I would like to know what you suggest I look at. The charachteristics I seek are detail, accuracy, with a touch of warmth (nothing over anayltical or bright).

I was thinking about the following:
- Cardas Neutral Reference
- Kimber Monocle XL
- Zu Cable Libtec
- Analysis Plus Solo 8

Anyone had experience with these, and perhaps compared them to the Zu Cable Wax? Anything else you suggest I add to the audition list? Budget is around $500-$700, used or new, 6-8ft single wire. It is purely for a hi-end audio system, no HT.

Thanks,
X

In the price range of $500-700 I have also thought about Cardas Golden Cross, Kimber KS-3033 and Nordost Red Dawn II.

I replaced my Bi-Wire Zu Wax with Bi-Wire DH Labs Q10 and couldn't be happier. As always system synergy plays a huge role in how things turn out but I would strongly advise trying out the DH Labs stuff. Best, Jeff

Hi There,

Will take that into consideration. Only problem is I do not think DH-Labs is available here in SA so no chance of auditioning. Will do some reasearch and find out though.

I am quite surprised - I thought that the Wax would outperform such a relatively inexpensive cable as the DH Labs.
