Audioquest vs Acoustic Zen


Have you compared both of these brands and if so, what differences did you encounter between them? Thanks.

I have not read all replies. I will jump straight to mine and here’s my share.

Audioquest cables can be (very) sharp crisp clean and very detail. One of the best company in this department. IMO, they are great for receivers, mid-fi, hi-if systems, home theaters, and for very warm sounding speakers; a great tool to open up the highs.
Audioquest cables will impress those who don’t (or never) believe cables make ANY differences.
I used to own Interconnects AQ Sky, Colorado and currently the AQ Rockefeller speaker cables $24k msrp. Very good cables and I love them but they are trash when compared to top ends Nordost.
So, back to the OP, I owned Acoustic Zen Satori spkrs cables and many of their interconnects. I would say AZ is a tad warmer, more body and natural and much better bang for buck than Audioquest when considered their performance and price ratio.
I don’t recommend Audioquest to high end audio.
