How would you rate ???


I am in the market for a pair of speaker cable and I must say I am quite overwhelmed by the plethora of new cable technologies available.
Just for my interest, I'm taking a poll with the full knowledge that an audition of these cables would be mandatory.

Here goes the list (though not exhaustive):

Acoustic Zen Hologram II
Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 9
Harmonic Technology Pro-12
Shunyata Research Lyra
Zu Cable Ibis

* you are welcome to add to the list above.

I heard the oval analysis the model, bet $200 and $400
dit not like it,Au24 yes this cable is very good,but
I prefer my cardas gonden cross,My siltech Ls 120 g3
with the right system also is hard to beat,AZ hologram
never heard but I suspect,sonic wise it might sound
like the stepbrother HT pro 9.Zu cable arent they
expensive? If the bogdan are cheap and good worth to
try them.
It was a long road down cable alley searching for the perfect companion. She just kept beckoning to me like a seductive temptress with the promise of everlasting harmony. I've been led down the path so many times I was dizzy yet still, whenever the allure appeared to replace the one that had promised me the world then failed to deliver, I jumped at the opportunity to try, thinking this would surely be the one.

No easy answer to this one. BTW, I use Luminous Audio Renaissance
I compared Oval 9, Oval 8, AZ Hologram II and Harmonic Tech wires with three other people. We used two systems: CJ Premier 140 and Premier 17 and new Gamut amp and preamp. Oval 9 were cleaner and bit more open than the AZ. AZ were cleaner and more musical than HT. All three were very close on the bottom end, so not much to differentiate them there. Oval 9 and AZ seemed about equal in midrange with HT a bit sweeter but not so much that it won out. The Oval 8 were the most detailed and our overall wire of choice. It let us here harmonics and inner detail the others missed. Short review, but this is what we concluded. Hope it helps.
