For some reason, the other thread on this subject was deleted. I wanted to hear from those who bought the new Mission cable during Zu's recent promotional period. I also would like to open up this thread to impressions of this cable once in your system.
Here is some the info from the insert that came with the Mission SCs I purchased not too long ago. They do not mention the capacitance level in pF/ft. You may have to contact Zu directly for that measurement.
Tesla/Litz 6/1 Cable Geometry Pure Copper Stranded Conductors Low Susceptibility to Electromagnetic interference Conductor Area for + and - 0.00392"2 approx AWG #13 (2.52 MM2)
What speakers or amps are you thinking about using the Mission cables for?
I say give the Mission SCs or ICs a chance. I'm happy with the Mission SCs I have.
Thanks Jedinite. I am thinking to get a 3M pair of ICs between my Dude preamp and Counterpoint NP100 amp. The Dude preamp has high output impedance and so cable capacitance is important.
I'll give it a try since they have a 60 day trial period.
Be sure to give ample time for break in. They took at least 200 hours before they really started to bloom IME; don't rush to conclusions. I replaced my entire system cabling at once, so it probably took longer in my case. But decent break-in time is required nonetheless.
For my Wylde ICs and Libtec speaker cables, break-in was more like 300 hours, and adding the BoK power cable to the preamp helped the tonal balance and ended the break-in period.
