Has anyone compared ZU mission vs Event speaker cables (and interconnects)?

For the time being, I'm just takling ZU cables. I'm not looking to compare other brands at this point. My next upgrade over the December holiday season will be speaker cables. I'm running Zu Omen Defs with Canare star quad. The Zu events are stretching my budget. Just wondering how a huge difference between Mission (and Libtecs) and the Events.

After new year I'll start looking at interconnects and ZU's are on my list there as well.

I have Event mk1 speaker cables.  I'm a huge fan of their speakers, less so their cables.  Running them with my DefHeads they are definitely more resolving, but to my ears a bit too analytical.  I mostly use my Black Cat Redlevel Couer cables instead.  I just find I like copper wires better, YMMV.

FYI, I don't think you will see Event speaker cables on ebay for a long time now that they've sold off their Mk1 stock.

OP, 
You should call Zu and see if they have any MK1's left over. Also, sign up to get announcements. They just had a sale a few days ago on a few models of speakers and subs.

Car engines vs good copper wires of same gaiges.... What an analogy.  The kind that cable makers use to sell the magic.
