Acoustic Zen Sartori in da house.

Joey_V

Alright I have some preliminary thoughts on the Sartoris... will do some more listening tonight.

tonyb

Well, some thoughts doesn't mean much unless you post them up. lol

Chop chop Joey...

mrbiron

They look an awful lot like garden hoses.
What is the MSRP on Sartori's because they look expensive.

tonyb

I wouldn't recommend buying any brand of higher end cables at retail prices. They simply lose value too quickly. Look at retail of Joey's WEL cables compared to what he just paid.

I have the same AZ cables, think retail is around 800+ bucks, but I picked up mine used for 400. Retail in the Matrix 2 IC'S s is around 4-500 bones, grabbed mine for 200. tHE satori jumpers I grabbed for 75 bucks.

Well ,Tony....you got those prices because you took the "discount" as a so called "insurance policy" in case some sort of "accidental fire" at the sellers house should happen. Or say a "brake failure" on their car. And heaven forbid a piano should fall off a "broken crane cable" when they were walking down the street. Capisce?

Lol, that description isn't the Italian way of doing business, that's a Monte Python skit.

Joey, take your time and don't feel any pressure to come through in a timely manner. We all know how busy your life can be. Enjoy the holiday's.

tonyb

Don't say that to Joey Bob, otherwise it will be Easter before we see a review.

Look at his sig - he still hasn't updated to publicly reveal what his "new speakers" are. The term "new" is sardonic at this point.

Oh dude so u got it?

WagnerRC

its on the big brown truck out for delivery today.

tonyb

Awesome man, can't wait to hear your impressions. I love the Cary SLP 05, But I have to give the edge to that Joule 300 if it sounds better than the 150.....AND I thought the 150 had an edge on the Cary.

For all intents and purposes, any of those pre's could be your destination piece, they all sound wonderful. Just a tad different flavor between them all.

WagnerRC

I really love the 300 no doubt about that. I have no cables for the cary so it will be eye candy. I am trying to switch all components over to the salamander cabinet so I am in no hurry.
