SOLD is an 8’ pair of Acoustic Zen Double Barrel cables. I’d rate them a 7 or 8 only because the pickiest of people will find some issue and complain about so, a 7 it is. But trust me, they are in fine shape and aren’t torn up. This pair uses heavy, gold plated spades.
Here is the spiel from the manufacturer: The Double Barrel is made exclusively for a full range speaker that can be bi-wired. With each conductor handling a specific range, the Double Barrel will bring a new resolution and fidelity to your speakers.
Each conductor is specifically designed to add musicality. For Mid-Hi Pas sone half of the Double Barrel is loaded with 10AWG 6N multi-stranded Zero Crystal copper wrapped in DupontTM TeflonTM. The other half of the Double Barrel is intended for Low Pass and is loaded with 8AWG 6N multi-stranded Zero Crystal copper wrapped in DupontTM TeflonTM. Electrical isolation is accomplished by correlating circuit geometries with our exclusive constant Air-Twist.
The Double Barrel possesses an incredibly refined sense of timber. Instruments and voice are presented with proper weight and body. Textures are fundamental and organic in their realism, amazing recapturing of ambient cues give a realistic feeling of the air and space around instruments.
Here are a couple nice reviews:
http://www.stereotimes.com/post/acoustic-zen-cables/https://soundrebels.com/acoustic-zen-absolute-copper-double-barrel-and-gargantua-ii-english-ver/I used these in my old McIntosh and B&W system and they sounded great. Way better than the cables I was using. Well, I’ve got back to SETs and these behemoths are absolute overkill for the 5.5 watts I’m now pushing. NOTE – I don’t have the original carry bag these came in. It got lost somewhere.
So, if you’re in the market to try a high end pair of carpet snakes for a reasonable price, now is your chance. These list for $3,000 from the Cable Company.
I’m looking to get $900 for the pair. If I’m shipping, plan on around $30 to $40 to get them there. PP fees are the buyers responsibility.
I might consider a trade for a nice LOMC cart, some high end 300b tubes, or maybe a tube based HiRez DAC (where I chip in some bucks).
