ZEF MAX vs Kimble 8TC

[Bruno]

Hi Albert,

I tried three different speaker cables on my system and zef max were the least convincing ones : 1st came QED genesis silver and 2nd Nac A5. Furthermore, the termination of 3 banana plugs out of 8 went loose very quickly ie unusable. I had to switch for the provided spare spades which are quite cumbersome and forced me to heighten the Devialet because of their angle (L shaped).

I own B&W cm10 so it can be the explanation : using Zef max the sound appeared to me to be metallic and somewhat unexpressive. Not very easy to describe when not a native English speaker...
You can also take it with a pinch of salt because I am a little bit hesitant to assert that I can hear differences between speaker cables. However I am honest and just write here what I experienced with the inception that psychology might have been involved in the process. The defect banana plugs are for real and not the result of my imagination !
