Cobalt Audio Speaker Cables
5 ft (locking banana terminations)
COBALT cables are 10AWG stranded copper. High quality locking banana termination. Well regarded cables. Chosen as the top performer in Audioholic no-hold-barred Speaker Cable shoot-out. The lowest inductance, top 2 for frequency response measurements and the best for build quality and looks, of all the cables tested in the shoot-out.
"The Cobalt Cables measured the lowest inductance out of all the cables in this comparison...
The Stealth Premier 2 and Cobalt cables had the highest performance in this comparison. However, special care must be taken to ensure closely spacing of the (+) and (-) conductors of the Stealth Premier 2 to achieve comparable performance to the Cobalt Cables...
From a build quality and cosmetics stand point, the Cobalt cables were our top preference...
With that in mind, our top three choices in order of preference were:
1. Cobalt Cables

I ran Zu Mission speaker and interconnect cables for a long time, they really are fantastic cables!

Same here. Great build quality. Have 2 pairs of Mission SC. Selling one pair because I upgraded to Zu Event SC.

Oh nice! I sold mine when I got rid of my Zu Omens but wish I just would have kept them. I've heard great stuff about the Event cable. Zu is a cool company and I've always liked what they do.

I got all my Zu ICs and SCs when I bought my Soul Superfly MkiiB. The nano woofers are great upgrades. The already good bass became more taut and impactful. And you are right, Sean and his team at Zu in Odgen are one of the best Audio team around. Great stuff and top notch customer service.
And I am planning on keeping my Zu cables for a long time. They match well with other speakers too. Used them on my recently acquired AZ Adagios, good match. -
Just wanted all to know I got the Cobalt speaker cables in timely fashion and got them hooked up. sounding sweet on the LSi9's.
Very well constructed speaker cables and the locking bananas are a nice feature, recommend ecod123 for future transactions. Post edited by Polkie2009 on -

Glad you like the cables and that they found a good home.
This has been a silky smooth transaction, thanks to Polkie2009. Decisive buyer, prompt payment, and great communication. A+ in my books.
Thanks again for your purchase.
