ACOUSTIC ZEN
STATE OF THE ART REFERENCE CABLES
"I've
been using Acoustic Zen Zero-Crystal cables for years and have
found nothing better."
 -
Legendary loudspeaker designer Albert von Schweikert - 27 year
industry veteran.
Designed
by audio legend Robert Lee, pioneer in continuous crystal cable
design, and former chief designer at Harmonic Technologies - Now
offering his latest & greatest reference designs in interconnects,
speaker cables, power cords, digital, and video cables though
his new company,
Acoustic Zen.
ALL
Acoustic Zen cables utilize an ultra high purity continuous cast
crystal-free copper and/or silver, which Acoustic Zen refers to
as 'Zero Crystal Copper' and 'Zero Crystal Silver'. These extremely
pure and costly metals are virtually free of crystaline grain
barriers that cause gritty, grainy, disrupted sound; and offer
incredible signal transmission properties. Robert Lee was THE
original pioneer of in the use of these metals in the audio field,
and still is far ahead of other designers in its use.
Not
only are the materials are important, but patented, expertly engineered
design also plays a major role in the performance of Acoustic
Zen products. An amazing caliber of performance for the price
places them among some of the very best values in the world of
high-performance audio. Acoustic Zen cables are the match of many
cables costing thousands of dollars more. We proudly carry the
entire line and maintain a close relationship with the company
and Mr. Lee.
Acoustic Zen Cables are making waves with audiophiles, reviewers,
and major manufacturing teams - many of whom use them as their
reference cables. Value
Audio offers everything from their entry level price cables, all
the way up to
Value Audio's exclusive: Hologram
II Custom Shotgun
speaker cables - One of the greatest speaker
cable sets in the world at any price, yet startingly affordable

Epoch 11 Gauge Speaker Cable
Acoustic
Zen's new 'entry level' cable is NOT for those without the critical
ears of an audiophile! The Epoch is a wonderful speaker cable utilizing
"Zero Crystal" continous cast high-purity copper for pure,
unadulterated signal transmission, and "Zero Crystal' spade
connectors (bananas optional, but are of different metalurgy). Though
excellent as a standalone speaker cable, its CL3/FT4 jacket makes
it the perfect high-end cable for in-wall installations as well.
The
Epoch speaker cable provides full deep, tight, powerful bass, smooth
and linear high frequency response, with a sweet and transparent
mid-range. Midbass is tuned with a little more emphasis so that
systems that are slightly lean will have greater authority and impact.
A tremendous value performer that is very affordably priced.

pair just $228.

Satori 10 Gauge Speaker Cable
 Satori

Reviewed
in January 2003 issue
Acoustic
Zen Cables are designed by Robert Lee, audio design legend and
pioneer in the use of continuous crystal wire in audio cables.
This very well may be one of the best speaker cables available
at any price.
The choice
of numerous top amplifier and speaker manufacturers for critical
listening and public demonstration of their equipment; Satori
cable is replacing $3,000 plus cables in many systems, including
those of professional reviewers. State of the art speaker cables
that attain extraordinary musicality, transparency, imaging, ambient
detail, and soundstage palpability. An amazing bargain in high
end cables.
Incrementally
layered, multiple strand, continuous cast non-extruded, pure "zero
crystal" copper cable design, delivering amplified signals in
perfect phase with absolute spectral and tonal coherence. A sonic
masterpiece.
Available
in any length, with spades of continous crystal copper, Z-Plug
bananas, or a combination of the two.
"I
am an ardent admirer of Lee's Satori loudspeaker cables, and at
US$598.00 for an 8-foot pair, they are a true high-end bargain.
The splendid Satoris are certainly not your everyday speaker cables.
Suffice it to say they have been my reference for quite some time
and have taken the place of many other fine cables it's been my
pleasure to examine. With cables selling in the multi thousands,
its nice to know that the Robert Lees of the design world are
out there drying up the many pools of spilt snake oil."

Audio's Exclusive Custom Offering!
World's
Greatest Value
For High-End Biwireable & Biamped Loudspeakers
The Best of
the Best - By our own special arrangements with Acoustic Zen's renown
cable developer Robert Lee.
|

In the January 2003 issue of Stereophile, the Acoustic
Zen Satori Shotgun speaker cables at only $1188 per 8 foot pair
were reviewed to be on par with competing Nordost Valhalla speaker
cables costing many thousands of dollars more...$7000+ per 8.2 foot
pair!
Value
Audio asked "What could be achieved by 'shotgunning' (doubling
it up to externally biwire or biamp with) Acoustic Zen's amazing
Hologram Mark II 8 Gauge Speaker Cable,
a step above their 10 gauge Satori?". In 'shotgun' configuration,
this would create a huge cable aggregate of about 5 gauge! (compare
to Satori Shotgun's aggregate of about 7 gauge).
After
discussions with the legendary cable designer, Acoustic Zen's Robert
Lee, Value Audio now offers one of the world's ultimate cable sets,
at thousands of dollars less than you would expect to pay. Our exclusive
Hologram II Custom Shotgun Speaker Cables not only sound spectacular,
but are amazingly affordable!
Hologram
II Custom Shotgun is produced by taking two separate cable runs
of Acoustic Zen's Hologram Mark II Speaker Cables - one for upper
frequencies, and one for the lower frequencies, each in a patented
array of 'Zero Crystal Copper' with an 8 gauge aggregate diameter.
The
upper frequency runs receive special tweaking and customization
by the hands of Mr. Lee himself, including the addition of a specially
tuned amount of their 'Zero Crystal Silver' to compliment the 'Zero
Crystal Copper' of the Hologram Mark II.
These
special dual-cable (shotgun) runs of Hologram Mark II can be either
terminated into one pair of positive/negative connections at the
amp end; OR as two separate pairs of cables for biamping, or biwiring
off of dual pairs of amp posts.
A
gorgeous custom reflective silver mesh that sparkles in the light
covers the cable for great looks, neutral color, and high WAF (Wife
Acceptance Factor).
These
ultimate custom reference speaker cables are yours for the amazingly
affordable price of just...
SALE
$2395 for 8 foot shotgun pair w/joined
high/low amp connections (biwire).
Add $50 for separate high/low connections at amp (for biamping).
