I’ve been deeply associated with Audio and Video products over the last four decades, back to my early twenties to be more precise. Speckers, Amplifiers, Preamps, Turntables, D to A converters and the latest TV products. I am not one to swear that cables do not make a difference. Try using silver plated cables, in place of a copper one and you’ll notice the difference. There will be an overall increase in brightness and texture between the two, this is especially noticeable in audio. Now, to be candid, I have never been able to afford some of the more exotic products out there, but I do know when a well-made cable that exhibits high value to the everyday consumer comes around, and the Zeskit Maya, is one of those products. The Zeskit Maya is an ultra-high speed HDMI cable which is very modestly priced on the internet. As the story goes, I had just purchased a new OLED model TV when I realized that the existing cable between my older TV (the one I was replacing) and my Apple device, had been there for a couple of years. However, the existing cable was an expensive HDMI cable from a well-known provider. Eventually, I did decide to upgrade my existing cable and in doing so, I struggled with the fact that I already had a high-tech cable in place, from a well-respected brand that was also quite expensive. Furthermore, I wasn’t sure it would make a difference. After all, the quality of noticeable improvements diminishes after a certain point, paralleling the cost in the hierarchy of getting better and better audio components. Nevertheless, with its low cost I took a chance, after all, I could return it if it didn’t live up to its performance - as cited by its many positive reviews.
My new TV that I just purchased was the Sony A90J and its picture, using my existing cable, was already outstanding. So, when I installed the Zeskit Maya Ultra I didn’t expect to find much of an improvement, if any …boy, was I wrong! Now you’re not going to gasp at the difference, but you will see, (readily) a definite picture improvement. The picture will seem calmer, (removal of the last ounce of noise, my explanation) clearer and will give you more of a solid definition to images, and colors were also a smidgen better. Even after replaying movies that I was familiar with everything consistently looked beautiful with this cable.
Being suspicious of what I was seeing, I decided to change the connection with other HDMI cables, (confiscated from two other TVs in the house.) Each time the improvements were clearly evident. So, what is going on with a 6.5-foot 9.99 cable? Since I’m not an engineer in Electromechanics I’m not sure! Zeskit states they use a “Solid OHFC copper connection, which eliminates stand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter.” I would think there would be another company out there that uses an OHFC connection for video the same way, but I’m not sure!
So can the improvements be associated with my specific TV interface and its internal picture resolution software – and simply be a one off, I don’t think so. I believe this is a well-made cable (it has that feel) that has solid engineering behind it, from a company that doesn’t feel it needs to charge an exorbitant price to deliver an outstanding consumer product. I have watched many of my favorite movies since and I can’t help feeling, this was a wonderful and generous gift from Zeskit …to us all. I think it is that simple.
Thank you Zeskit, keep making affordable products we can all enjoy.
