I have a pair of single run Acoustic Zen Satori speaker cable for sale. Not sure how much interest I'll get here but figured I'll give you guys a first shot before they go to Audiogon.
I am the third owner I believe and these were purchased off of Audiogon for $300 several months ago. The former owner told me that they used to be a single 16 foot run that was sent back to the factory to be cut and reterminated. One length is 7'-2.5" inches long and the other length is 7'-5" long. These have the factory terminated spades on them as you can see from the picture.
Condition wise I'd rate them as fair to good 6/10 on Audiogon scale. Some slight tears on the fine threads on the sheathing and some binding post marks on the spades but nothing that would affect sonic performance.
Asking $250 + shipping for the speaker cable.
I found these to be darker sounding so might help a brighter sounding system. I also have the matching AZ Wow interconnect and the Satori jumpers if you are interested. One of the jumpers needs to be sent back to the factory though because the banana got bent and snapped off during a gear swap moving speakers around.

The first pic above I brightened up to show the small tears in the string in the sheathing. The actual cable is more grayish in color and looks more like the picture below:

I hope so Dan. These will probably never sell now that I'm about to say this, but I was never too impressed with this speaker wire from day one. It just sounds overly warm and rolls off the highs too much for me. I was trying to use them with the Acoustic Zen Wow interconnect but a lot of folks think that both together is too much loss. Doesn't make any sense if people want to have matching wire.
From lowest to highest detail speaker wire I have is the AZ, then the DH Labs, then Transparent, and finally Kimber.
To me its very noticeable going from wire to wire on my equipment. The DH Labs and Transparent are really close though. Tough for me to tell them two apart.
Next level up on Transparent is what I am looking at for an upgrade. -
Which DH Labs speaker cables do you have the T-14 or Q-10? I'm trying to decide whether to get the T-16 shotgunned or get the regular Q-10. I use the DH Labs Air Matrix IC for all my digital soucres.

Tony,
I have the Q10 biwires. I got them from Value Audio over there in Cali.

Thanks for the reply.
The closest DH Labs dealer is Upscale Audio. I've ordered stuff from Kevin and usually get it the next day. -
You know it sounds like that in your system but it might take it all the way out in someone elses.Wires are very personal like amps and such.Someone should take them as a very nice upgrade.
Some wire works in many different systems and some are picky.
Good luck with your upgrades man.
