Great deals on Zu cables on Ebay
« on: 26 Apr 2007, 03:04 pm »
I noticed that Zu sells some cables on ebay and I got a pair of 8' Wax speaker cables brand new for        ~35% of the cost on their website.  I am sure they are not losing money which shows that the mark up is super high even for direct to consumer marketing.  Regardless I am jazzed for such a good deal.  Free shipping to boot!

Wow free advertisement for ebay  :thumb: most cable companies make "millions if not not more with their hyped up marketing products. Yes PC, IC's and speaker cables do make a difference but do we really need to spend 1k for cables another $500 or so on IC's and and an ungodly amount of PC's?  :scratch:  Little by little I am starting to learn that you dont need to overspend and have the greatest and latest gadgets to have a good quality sounding system.  Some of us pay too much attention to audiophile magazines and subjective reviews on every product, why does GOOD sounding music have to cost so much? I personally dont think so  :nono: however, I am no "audiophile" just a middle class worker

Be careful .... Discussions about cables are always controversial.
Like religion, faith plays a big big role in how people perceive cables. Go in with an open mind, who knows what you will find ... , but if you are skeptical to begin with, nothing will ever change your mind.  :lol:

That said ... Zu cables are built well. I had the julian way back ... but i sold it and now have blue jean cables. Doesn't look as pretty, but does the job pretty well  :thumb:

It must be a pretty good business model - my first product from them was an mp3 player cable bought on ebay.  Since then, I have acquired three sets of interconnects, a pair of speaker cables, Druids, Definitions, then upgraded to Pros.  Every audio company should do this!

Well I was perfectly happy with my Julians which I got for the same price as Bluejeans.  I now need banannas to fit the Trends amp so I was shopping.  i don't think what i payed is bad for a well made, good looking(matters to me) and generally high quality product.  Would I pay $540 for them?  NO
