Acoustic Zen

My Satori Shotguns just came, can't really give a review on it. Before I bought the cables, I called to talk to Robert Lee, one of the nicest guys I ever talk to...if you have any questions he'll answer. It's surprising all the inside info that he tells you. He'll even let you do a 30 day in home trial with a money back gauranteed. I'll say at least give them a listen.

I've owned a pair of used AZ Satori shotguns (dual cables) bi-wired speaker cables for a couple of months about a year ago.

IMO, they were no better than Harmonic Technology's Pro 9 speaker cables. Robert Lee of AZ used to be Harmonic Tech's chief engineer before starting A. Zen. But the Satori's cost twice as much as the HT Pro 9's.

Both Harmonic Tech and Acoustic Zen utilize the same single crystal technology in there wiring (so I'm told).

I have not tried any AZ interconnects.

I use the satori speaker wire and the matrix[original] iC. They easily bettered red dawn[original] IM system[all solid state.] They seem to allow a fullness on notes on SS, but I haven't heard them on tubes. I believe they're worth the money and Robert Lee personally replied to my e-mail when I told him how I liked his cable. You could always pick up some used and resell them without taking a hit as they're very popular....good luck.

Pesonally I think the Zen wires are much better than Harmonic Tech. I have owned both full sets of both. The Satori speaker cable is far superior to Pro 9 in every way in my system, the new Hologram speaker cable is better than Satori. I like the power cords and interconnects too. I have tried a bunch of cables some costing 10x as much as Acoustic Zen and have not been able to find a cable that makes me happier. I have heard that the David Elrod cords do perform better than the Acoustic Zen power cords, but I have not tried them personally
