The Prima MKII OCC Speaker Cable 9AWG

$719.00

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.

Pure Quality

This is my first product from Zavfino and the impression it has made has been dramatic. There was great care in design, materials and the implementation culminating in a great product.

You have to experience certain things, and the quality of this cable is truly outstanding. I wonder how they can deliver so much, and at this price point, it is truly impressive.

Up to this point, I am impressed with the quality of the product to say the least. Inserting it into my stereo and the initial impressions are everything that the tactile experience has delivered. These are very well balanced cables without being too analytical. So impressive that I am trying to decide what model of interconnect I want from this company. This is the kind of product that has you seriously considering how much more you are willing to spend for the next level of performance. I have no doubt their next up in the lineup is outstanding. I do believe that the sound I want from my rig will be better suited to my liking with the proper utilization of their interconnects. With this line of speaker cable, you now are getting to the point of diminishing returns. Yes there is more to be had, but what are you willing spending for that next 10-15 percent. Only you can answer that question.

I really enjoy when you get great value/performance for your investment. This is definitely one of those times and will gladly invest in this company that truly deserves it. You really do get a lot of performance for your money.

The best way I can say that I am a believer in the company and its products, is that I will be a return customer and let everyone else know that as well.

Think were there

I have had a number of very nice sets of speaker cables...Made many of my own as well.The prima mrkII are amazing value...took me a while to figure out setup/direction but in the end they are still with me and have no plans on changing after 3 yrs.Bought very expensive pair of silver interconnects that transmit every fault in system...just sounds like music to me...Great product!

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.
