What does everyone think of Zu Cables Wax?


I recently traded my Naim amps for a YBa Passion, and my speakers are Audio Physic Virgos. I need to find speaker cables to replace my Naim cables. I bough some cheapo Belden wire recently, but it doesn't do it for me, so I guess I am beginning to think that there may be something to cables afterall. I have been considering Kimber 8TC, Oval 9, and Anti-cables. I'm somewhat intrigued by Zu- does anyone have any experience with these cables, aprticulalrly the Wax model.

Owned the Kimber, Wax, the Anitcables and now the Reality Cables.

IMHO, the Kimber was the bottom of the barrel, they just seemed to drain the life out of the music.

The Wax are not bad, fairly warm, pretty good bottom end, but I didnt feel they delivered the detail I wanted.

I liked the Anticables alot, good detail and overall sound. Probably a bit light on the bottom but not horrendously so. For the price, I think they're incredibly good cables. Pm me if you're interested in a set at a good price ;-)

Finally, the Reality Cables. Certainly more expensive then the Anticables but worth every penny. Using a trite phrase, they punch WAY above their weight(price). They are transparent and deliver all the goods, detail bottom end, airy highs. I think they're great.

If your budget is tight, I'd recommend the Anticables. If you can afford to spend a bit more, the Reality Cables are well worth trying (he's got a 30 or 45 day trial period). I don't think you'll return them if you give them a try.
