Well, as some of you may have seen, I will be reviewing higher-end interconnects and powercords (under $1000/meter pair for interconnects, under $1000/six-foot for powercords).
The cables so far slated for review over the next few months include:
First of all, the quality of build appears to be exceptional. The interconnects are huge -- about 1.5 times as thick as my Tara Labs RSC Reference Gen 2's. The Tsunami powercord (the smaller of the two currently made by Acoustic Zen) is also quite large -- hard to believe it's their "small" one. NOTE: I'm not hinting that a bigger cable is necessarily a better cable, but it's such a dominant physical trait of these cables, that I thought it noteworthy.
I'll start off by installing one of the two pairs of interconnects. This is good timing, as I've been listening to my rig all day, and for the better part of last night, in its original setup.
I'll keep posting initial impressions. Eventually, of course, I will write a review for each of each manufacturer's products versus my old setup.
