I have been making some power/diy cables for source and i have to say it is probably been more crucial component than i realized.Vh audio flavor 1/furutech fi-15 plus has really been a nice upgrade.Next will be the furutech fp tcs 21 with furutech fi-11's will be next.Power will be after these have run in.ugh!
Zavfino
Many nice gents in this site, highly reputable common folks audiophiles like @lalitk @wig and others have mentioned these, so it’s probably time to create a specific thread on Zavfino, a direct sales cables company based in Canada with presence ‘ distributors in US, also direct:
I took the advice of these folks with a power cord, the Prima MK2
I could not be happier with this cord, something that would easily cost $2,000 or even $3,000 from other better known cable makers. It’s outstanding, for about $500. Absolutely amazing build, and packaging too. It sounds great, very quiet. I am sure the cheaper PC, the Majestic at $390 is very good too:
I now have the Prima speaker cables on my way. Call me “sold”.
No BS, truly top quality cables company that flies under the radar. Very affordable too. Take a look. No relation to the company, just a happy first time customer, thanks to my Audiogon friends here

I received a bfa set of them last week...i put them in for a couple hours and i took them out because i preferred my old one’s to them...which are single 12 gauge neotech wire and nice aeco banana’s. I was thinking of selling them but for giggles i put them on my fry baby for a couple of days...oh yeah thats more like it...opened up and nice deep sound stage...can only imagine it’s going to improve as time go’s on...they are staying in and yes they are a no brainer for materials you get for the $. |
Just chiming in on my initial impressions of the prima speaker cable.As posted these were bought used but very nice condition/xllnt.The 9 awg really make the most of modwright and atc 19's.Still am getting things settled as i redid the jumpers (spade too banana) and was glad to see they are screw type/not soldered.I did have to manhandle them,also put a power conditioner on source.That is still settling in as much my getting use to it as well. Over all the cables are really good sounding and just are a good fit for my system.Nothing really jumps out for now and i guess thats good?.Just a nice clear window and musical presentation.A great product. |
Awg matters in my case...having stand mount the extra gauge brings nice fuller dynamics/bass.I do have a pair of these (prima mrk II) too and am wondering your directional feed to speakers.I was told ZAVFINO reads away from amp ( Z going towards speaker)...really love the sound stage/highend but lowend seems shy.Theres never been any clear statement in promo.

@treebeard1 ...Thankyou so much for your reply to thread.I think this is going to work and save my system from me using my diy cables lol.It has the definition and fullness that wasnt there so much.I will say that my diy replacement is the humble mogami 3104.This simple cable has some of the best lowend definition that compete’s with higher end cables imho.Now...the Zavfinos timber/build and highend is on another level of course...thx again for this.🎼 |
@thyname...thx for this...lol 😂

@lalitk...thanks to you as well.Appreciated!.I have some ic's that the maker says non-directional.I say they sound best a certain way to my ears/system.Done. |
Amen to all...mine installed per illustration from thyname OP...thanks again.Forever thats the way they will stay...for now lol. I do have a frybaby ...i read about doing this and bemoaned it at first.I had a pair of Hollowgrams II i was using before my diy projects...said what the hell.They had been in my system for 15+ years i figure its due....it put some life back into them,clearer soundstage,bass was solid.They probably needed a little time to settle but... fwiw. |
