Acoustic Zen Silver Ref. II vs Absolute IC's

Barto, what did you move to, and did you find something that kept what the Absolutes do well but give you more air and openness?

Ow yes I did!
Did take years of searching but found everything I am looking for in the new HiDiamond line.
Could place a small review here of the differences but do not want to hijack this thread.

All I will say is, I can now listen "around" an instrument. A high hat seems to come out of all sites of my speaker.
Real depth and air in recordings, always thought I had depth, until I experienced hearing two musicians playing in front of each other and I could literary experience the space in between them.
(only two small examples). Most system do play in depth but not with this seperation.

I have tried a lot of brands in the last years and will not be looking further. Also owned some quite more expensive than these.

That's of course not to say the HiDiamonds sound like the Absolutes, but better. It is a different cable that sounds different like all do. But it is a cable that is up there with the best in terms of technical/audiophile traits I've had, on some points better, but do so while being very musical en pleasing to listen to!
