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

@tksteingraber Hard to tell - the Fina PC replaced a Pangea 14SE MKII ($80) and I didn't a/b test them much mainly because my cabling is hard to get to. I also made a ton of other tweaks including some NOS tubes in my amp. What I can say is that my digital front end is sounding really, really good nows and I'm very happy with the end result. My first purchase was the speaker cables and Fusion interconnect - I'm not good a describing how things improved but they did - a lot, which is why I kept going. I have no doubt their top end cables are great, but the low-mid tier is very reasonably priced and I think tough to beat in the price range. |
@thyname @lalitk @juanmanuelfangioii The Nova’s are directional, and it matters...guess how I know? Thanks to thyname, I realized my right speaker cable was reversed. I just switched the direction. The difference was obvious immediately. The right channel is louder now and not surprisingly, the sound stage/channel separation is much better. I got the SCs in December so a couple months of use. I must have missed the instructional diagram. I’ve been fussing with speaker position and listening position but ultimately thought it was the room (open plan kitchen/dining/living room/office - width more than twice the depth) so normal for my environment, and by this time my brain had forgotten how system sounded with the previous cables (also directional but with helpful arrows). If I didn’t hear this so clearly for myself I would have doubted the effect of directionality. My theory was that the directionality of speaker cables were really set during break-in and that arrows were there to keep things ’organized’. But, Zavfino burns them in using high voltage so my guess is the current I’ve put through them so far is trumped by the factory burn in process. Perhaps it will get even better with time? Anyway, thanks for helping me solve a problem I did not know I had. |
