The Prima MKII OCC Speaker Cable 9AWG

Type: Speaker Cable


Newly updated and tweaked to perfection Prima MKII  speaker cable utilizes  more OCC single crystal copper strands in a multiple strand litz construction with an individually insulated silver coated core with  Japan sourced  LDPE Dielectric .  Prima MKII also has a tighter conductor twist before extrusion and the insulated pairs are also twisted at a higher pitch rate than the previous Prima.  Using a tight strand/high pitch lay this 9AWG speaker cable can handle the most demanding systems and loudspeakers on the market. New to the MKII is our Delrin insulated BFA speaker connectors which are a mix of pressed formed copper sheet with lightweight aluminum shells which don't come into contact with the gold plating. Other connector variations such as spades, and locking banana are available by contacting us through the website. 

The Prima MKII  like all of our cables goes through our new Ultra Sonic cleaning process where we run the raw copper through a water bath that is super charged to burn away dirt, oil, residue and impurities on the surface of the wire. This Ultra Sonic Bath also has the added unique effect of giving our cables a pre-burn sound that could take hundreds of hours to achieve through normal use.  Prima MKII is has  Cryo treated bare conductor before extrusion.

Deep Cryo™ Treatment
All of the conductors used in our cables undergo Deep Cryo™ treatment before the insulation is extruded over the metals. Our research has proven that the conductor—and only the conductor— benefits from cryo-treatment. Materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC™), Teflon™, PE, and Silicon™ can all be adversely affected by cold-temperature annealing. Cryo-treating non-conductors and insulating materials can cause them to break down and become brittle.
The purity, size, and molecular structure of each conductor determine the specific temperature within the -186ºC to - a 196ºC range that we cryo-treat it at. Zavfino’s research into cold temperature physics has proven that the absolute lowest temperature is not necessarily the best for cryo-treatment.
This is a two-stage process. In the first stage we draw the bare conductor through a ceramic die into an ultrasonic cleaning chamber that bombards the conductor with multiple ultrasonic frequencies. This emulsification process removes all debris from the surface of the wire down to the molecular level and leaves absolutely zero residues.

UltraSonic 7 High Voltage / Thermal Break-in
This is a two-stage process. In the first stage we draw the bare conductor through a ceramic die into an ultrasonic cleaning chamber that bombards the conductor with multiple ultrasonic frequencies. This emulsification process removes all debris from the surface of the wire down to the molecular level and leaves absolutely zero residues. After each individual wire is processed, we strand it into bundles and then subject the bundles to further treatment. During the second stage of the ultrasonic burn-in, we increase the voltage to a higher level that’s just below the threshold of the conductor. This adjustment in temperature allows us to get a unique “break-in effect” normally associated with cables that have had 30 to 40 hours of signal and/or current run through them.

Best sounding cable I have had in my system and I have had many.

The best I have used

From home made, to high end I have used numerous different speaker cables. These are unquestionably the best that I have ever used. Zavfino makes the most neutral cables I have heard. Others may share attributes, but fall short in one or more attributes, while I cannot find any attributes that the Zavfinos fall short in. Be forewarned though, if after burn in, you hear this or that problem, it isn't the cables, they just exposed system shortcomings. Keep the cables and obtain better equipment.

So far so great

Shipping was fast and several days quicker than quoted.
With only 24 hours on the Prima MK2 speaker cables, Im noticing more micro details and a more realistic tone. I can't wait to see what they are like in 200 hours.

Zavfino

I must state that I was impressed with the packaging as well as the product. While searching OCC lines, I found these to be the valued brand. Sound quality is balanced and accurate. I am using them with Rogue tube amp and preamp matched with Dalquist DC 10 speakers

Prima MKII OCC Speaker Cable

Even though they are already 'burned in' I found they took about a week to really settle in and sound their best. And their best is really quite good! Excellent performance at a relatively decent price!
