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'm completely comfortable with the musical taste and listening skills of several of you that I have gotten to know through Audiogon, with that said I just ordered a pair of the Fusion (RCA) IC’s. I'll use it with the set up that I have my Majestic MKII power cord in. 
@lalitk  can you give me an idea on the Fusion interconnect break in time? That will give me an idea of how long to leave them on my cable burner.
@ lak

I would place them on the cable conditioner for 4 days and another 5-7 days of continuous running in your system.

I received the Prima OCC speaker cables. Right off the bag, they sound fantastic! It’s been a while I have been this excited with speaker cables. And definitely the first time with this current  speaker/ amp combination (B&W 803 D3 and T+A PA 3100 HV).

They sound extremely smooth and full bodied, with a very rich texture/ tone / timbre. Very high resolution, yet, with zero fatigue. I cannot find any weakness with them. Absolutely amazing value at that price. I am very happy.
I heard about Zavfino in August from Wig when I contacted him to talk about Inakustik cables.  He told me the Zavfino cables offered amazing performance at a very modest price point.  I was skeptical but at the same time very intrigued.  I've been an audiophile for 50+ years and have tried my share of cables ranging from budget  to extreme and everything in-between.  I contacted Raymond at Zavfino USA and placed an order for (5) Majestic MKII power cords, (1) Prima MKII power cord, (1) Pair Nova speaker cables, and (2) pairs Arcadia MKII interconnects.  Raymond was a pleasure to work with.  The cables were made in the Canada factory, shipped to Zavfino in New Jersey and then shipped to me.  The appearance & build quality of the cables is excellent.  I took my time swapping out my top tier cables from Purist Audio Design, Cardas, Elrod Power Systems, Tara Labs, & Inakustik.  I started with interconnects, then speaker cables, and finished with the power cords.  I made the changes one at a time on each component so I could evaluate the differences with each cable swap.  I was blown away by what I heard.  Not only did the Zavfino cables hold their own against my expensive cables, they actually bettered them in some areas.  The cables sounded a tad bright out of the box as to be expected.  Within an hour or two the brightness was completely gone and as the cables broke in they continued to amaze me.  Zavfino is definitely a winner and I highly recommend giving them a try.
thyname,

The Majestic MkII PC-OCC audiophile-grade power cable at $390, plus the Arcadia OCC copper interconnects at $164 a pair for only $554 total!? That sounds like the sweet spot to me.

Since I still needle drop, I think I will give Raymond an email and see if I can get a custom shielded IC build for a turntable.

Thanks for introducing Zavfino to me.
