Harmonic Tech vs Acoustic Zen

Since this post is in a little bit of disagreement with the above, it shows that system synergy plays a big part in the overall sound.
I have used the HT Prosilway II, the Zen Silver Reference II and their Matrix Reference II. These are my conclusions:
The overall sound of the HT Prosilway is excellent. I found it to be slightly less bright than the Zen SRII. Soundstaging was about the same and the Zen presented a little more detail (however, since they are brighter, this may not really be the case.) Overall, I prefered the HT cable especially after factoring in the price difference.
The Matrix Reference II was a bit behind the two cables above in most respects. Although, these had a bit of brightness, it was certainly not as tranparent as the more expensive Zen. It did not throw as big a soundstage.
In conclusion, I will vote for the HT Prosilway II as the overall winner factoring in all attributes including the price. All of these cables are excellent but Zen is not a bargain in the context of Harmonic Technologies cables. HT has introduced the Prosilway III at about a $100 price increase. I have not auditioned this cable.
Since the same designer created both cables(Harmonic and Zen), I'm sure they had to find a way to have these cables sound different.
They were used in a system that includes a Audible Illusions L-1, Theta Dreadnaught(4-ch), Vandersteen 3A Signatures and a pair of 2wq subs and a Meridian 508-24 CD player. This system is biwired and biamped using Zen Satori speaker cables.

Although I haven't heard any of the AZ IC's, I'll second Bigtee on the HT PS II (however - also like him - I do own and like the AZ Satori). Compared to my Cardas Cross IC, I think full and natural-sounding bass is one of the PS II's strong points, and it is also less bright. Which is a roundabout way of saying I also second him on the system-dependency question.

Bigtee, you must be the only audiophile ever, who thinks the Pro Silway II is better than the Matrix II. No way! The Matrix eats it alive. Does it make any sense that a designer such as Robert Lee with his obvious talents in design and listening would start his own company and then design a cable that doesn't even sound as good as his older design? I owned Pro Silway IIs, and they were brighter, thinner, less coherent, and generally inferior to the Matrix.

As far as the Silver Zen, I suggest people read the many comments on that cable in the forums here. Most people comment, as I would, that there is no brightness, just the highest of resolution.

Saxo, you must be the only audiophile ever who knows the absolute truth.

Folks, you need look no further.

thanks everyone for all your information,this gave me
a good idea the sonic of both brand, Sorry also for
putting this on the amp and preamp forum.
