Zavfino

Trying to decide my next Zavfino purchase - Prima power cord or Prima speaker cables. Anyone have a preference for one over the other? This is a Rega amp into some Dynaudios. 

Well, curiosity got the best of me- I ordered the Prima mkII power cord and fusion interconnects. I can honestly say these two cables have had a huge impact on my system. Along with the SR Purple fuse, I am just loving what I’m hearing. I just placed an order for the Prima speaker cables to complete the loom. 
 

Thanks for starting this thread, Thyname. Otherwise I never would have known about this company and the amazing work they’re doing.

Lalitk, if there’s any other cable company that we need to know about, please share!

Thanks for chiming in. I did hear about HIJIRI and may check with Gestalt, as I have a living room and bedroom system, so only one is really complete. 

The Prima MkII speaker cables came the other day and they basically transformed my system. I've listened to a few popular brands through Audiogon member recs, but these totally shocked me for the price. So many times, I've seen the interconnects essentially take over the sound and the speaker cables just carry through with minimal differentiation, but not the case at all here.

Great tonality, amazing focus, detail, things really snapped into place beyond just the interconnects. I'm now taking a hard look at the Silver DART cables, but the Primas are just so good. Maybe I would start out replacing the interconnects, but honestly this is more than I expected.

BTW, if there's an ethernet cable pick, please let me know.

@jaymark nice! So you have a loom of Grover’s cables?

I was going to try Pharoah a couple years back but never got around to it - I think he was waiting on some silver or something- anyway, nice guy, should give them a listen this year, as they seemed like great value. 
 

I thought the Fusion was a big step up from interconnects I had from Audio Envy, Shunyata Venom, Stager silver, and even my former favorites from Sunshine cable in Japan. The Prima mkii speaker cables are excellent, too.

Damn, I had a feeling you were going to say that, lol. I wish I could make the Dart PC work in my current setup, but I’ll take your word for it - I do want to add in the SC/ICs. 
 

Raymond told me the Fina cords were much more flexible, so here’s hoping - I want to add a couple to my DAC and streamer. The Prima mkII PC was fantastic but man that thing was unwieldy.

AE is very good, great clarity, but the NV-9 SC I had was bass light - really needed a full loom with the prestige IC and PC to even everything out. This may not be true with the new 12 speaker cable.

I think the Nova SC/Arcadia IC/Fina PC should get you most of the Zavfino house sound. I couldn’t really tell a difference on my standmount speakers with Prima mkII and Nova SCs. Fusion had a little more detail than Arcadia in my system, but somewhat similar sound.

Zavfino cables have probably the strongest PRaT I’ve ever heard of any brand. It definitely imparts it’s signature on the music, but it’s a very stylish presentation.

I’d like to try a full loom of the Silver Dart, but Thyname made me think twice on this with his earlier comments in the thread.

Still confused on this directional setup with what’s on the bananas for my Nova OCC cables…everything seems to be facing the same way. How about arrows next time :)
