Z squared AUAU gold alloy ICs, no image at all

Hi
I have just bough a pair of Z squared audio 2.0m AUAU gold alloy neutrik interconnects for my system. I put them between the dac and and the pre amplifier. I used to have a regular diamond back audioquest IC there. I put the z squared cable and the image lost a lot of focus. The voice was left to the center and the soundstage wasnt as clear as with the AQ. The sound lost the magic.
I would like to know if somebody has experienced the same with this ICs or maybe the cables need a break in. Or maybe Im doin something wrong.
Thanks

Ok Tvad, thanks. I will check the arrows first and then the neutriks and later I will swap to see what happens. Have you used this cable before? How was the sound? because I think this cable is better than the AQ diamond back...
Thanks

I was changing speakers, i move from a triangle celius 202 to a pair of tyler reference monitors. This is due to my new room that is too small for the celius. I try a lot of acoustic treatments until I gave up. Then I listened the Von Schweikerts VR1 in the small room and the sound was terrific compared to the celius. So somebody told me that If I liked the VR1s I would love the Tyler Reference Monitors. Then I bought a pair and they arrive in 10 days. Today when I was in the middle of the test with the Z squared cables my audio salesman arrive and took the celius to the store.
So, I will continue the break in process with the tylers in 10 days. i will let you know.
Thanks
ALAN
