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 use Tchernov ICs and USB cables, also from Colin, as I found they really worked in my system.  Again, another level of sound quality, but not inexpensive.  I still find the Hijiri and Tchernov to be a good value when comparing top notch cabling. 

I am using Hijiri and love them! Another level based on my experience with these and many other cables. Colin King at Gestalt Audio Design in Nashville is the importer/dealer. I have 5 of their Nagomi power cords and their HCS SC. Just fantastic.

To be fair they are more money.  I still recommend Zavfino for those looking to spend less and still get performance. 

Network Acoustics  ENO filter and cable are just great.  The new Muon filter and cable are the best I have heard.  Improved my streaming and file playback to I level I thought not possible. 

Best to start another thread.  I only compared the Nagomi power cord vs. the Majestic. As Lak said the Nagomi costs much more.  Not a fair comparison really. 

Do you folks buy here in the US or direct from Zavfino? I am interested in the Majestic power cord as I don’t want a forward sounding power cord. Trial period?
Is the Majestic PC stiff? Do they offer a trial period? I don’t see that on their site? 
What about break in on the power cables. I know they perform some sort of break in, but what have you folks experienced with the Majestic II ?
Thus far I like it OK. My DIY cord is very, very similar at this point. Wonder if the cord improves with time? Right now it is a tad thin and bright. Just a tad, but enough impact my engagement factor negatively.

You can demo the Fusion ICs vs what I made for you. I would be very surprised if the Fusion is better? Maybe. Perhaps a sideways move? Never know until you try. If you do try them please let me know.

I never liked the sound of stranded silver, but they combine with copper so perhaps they get some full bodied, meat on the bones sound.
I have been listening to the Majestic power cord all week on my Circle Labs A200 integrated amp.  Nice sounding cord overall. For the money it is a great value! 
I have also had some other power cords on trial over the past two weeks. I decided to return the Majestic because it was a tad to forward and vivid in my system.  This is purely based on my system and personal preference. The power cord is very good and most all will love it.  I decided to buy two Hijiri Nogami power cords from the dealer/importer - Gestalt Audio Design. These delivered the tone and depth I wanted.  Much more expensive however at $1490 retail! The Majestic was as good as another $1200 power cord I also tested that is made in the USA. 
Raymond at Zavfino is wonderful to work with and understands why I am returning the cable. No hassle guy. 
@ozzy, did you solder/crimp spades to the conductors to insert into the AC plugs? If so, which spades did you use? Thanks. 
That is why I asked. Furutech makes some nice mini spades as well as others. Far more secure. Should also be used with stranded wire as it is more fragile and tight clamping will damage the strands. The strands will break over time and cause sonic and safely issues.
