I know it's a longshot, but if anyone has any Zu Libtec, Mission or other cables i'd be interested for the right price. Anything from 5-8ft, spades or bananas i'm not picky. Thanks!

    Just a quick question... any particular reason you're interested in the Zu's? The reason I ask is that I had a pair of Zu Julians that I could not get out of my system fast enough. Just sounded sterile and flat. Could be they just didn't play well with my system at the time, but I haven't looked in their direction since.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    PM sent and i'm taking them! I wanted these because they match the internal wiring of my speakers and i've heard good things about them. Thanks for the help!

    Well looks like your speaker cable decisions got a whole lot easier :wink:..

    Let us know how they sound.

    I can definitely do that, I can highly recommend their speakers and say that they have fantastic customer service. I'll let y'all know what i think once they're hooked up.

    Always nice to move a nice product at a fair price to a fellow PF member.

    Makes sense. I'll just chalk up my experience to the Julians being one of their lower-tiered offerings and what was probably poor synergy with my system at the time. Be sure to let us know your impressions after you have them in your system for a bit.

    Just wanted to say I got them in and Doctor R did a FANTASTIC job packaging these bad boys, down to the little plastic covers over the bananas. They seem very well built and i'll wait to comment on the sound but I can already say they sound better than the Kimbers they replaced. Thanks again!

    After listening for a while today the best thing I can say about these cables is they do nothing. I can't pick up on anything added whatsoever, it just sounds right. The slight harsheness from the Kimbers is gone, and they do seem slightly faster. Besides that they just sound invisible, and perfectly balanced from top to bottom and are a prefect match for my Omens. Thanks again!

    Glad they are starting to settle in. Now that they are relaxed and layed out there could be an additional small improvement over the next few days.
