Has anyone heard of this US Loudspeaker Cable manufacturer?(
www.zucable.com ) I was speaking to a friend who uses their "Wax" cable and
he couldn't praise them enough, he says his Wax out performs his now
disowned Kimber Kable 8TC.

Tell him to stop drinking that snake oil, it's bad for your hearing!

I'm intrigued! Is there anybody in the UK who uses ZU cable? Your info will
be greatly received.

It's wire, dude, and wire is wire, no matter what the price or the
fancy packaging. In purely technical terms, Kimber 8TC is superior to
almost anything on the market - but it still *sounds* the same as
ordinary 12 AWG 'zipcord'.

I've had a look at the Zu site, and it's a classic scam. They don't
give any proper specifications for the cable, the remarks about
directionality and burn-in are total bull****, and the rest of the
blurb reeks of purest snake oil. You'll get *exactly* the same sound
from 13 amp mains cable at a hundredth of the price.
