Welcome to our in-depth Zavfino - The Highlands MkII - Tonearm Cable Review. If you’re chasing the ultimate in low capacitance, high conductivity analogue interconnect, this 1.5 metre marvel is engineered to lift your vinyl rig to extraordinary heights. From pristine highs to rock-solid bass, the Highlands MkII delivers clarity, focus and dynamic authority in spades.
At the heart of the Highlands MkII are four independently colour-coded cores of 99.998% pure solid silver, H-Wound with high-pitch stranding to achieve ultra-low capacitance and impeccable channel matching. Each conductor is extruded in FEP/Teflon dielectric, spiral-twisted and wrapped in an aluminium-mylar + silver-plated copper braid shield for complete RFI/EMI rejection. Dual layers of RoHS-certified PVC, followed by twin PET monofilament sleeves, protect the assembly while isolating mechanical vibration. The low-mass OCC copper RCA connectors use PTFE insulation and gold plating to minimise resonance and ensure long-term reliability. On the tonearm end, the 5-pin DIN boasts Zavfino’s anti-stress pin construction in high-purity copper, insulated with PTFE/Teflon for optimum performance over years of use.
The sonic signature of the Highlands MkII is brilliantly energetic yet effortlessly refined. Treble is extended without any hint of glare, revealing air and micro-detail in cymbals and string harmonics. Midrange clarity is second to none, with vocals and acoustic instruments presenting a natural timbre and precise positioning. The bass is taut and authoritative, with punchy dynamics that don’t sacrifice speed or definition. Soundstaging is wide and three-dimensional, drawing you into a holographic listening arena that’s both immersive and intimate.
If you’re a truly discriminating music lover running a high-end turntable with an MC or high-output MM cartridge, the Highlands MkII is designed for you. It’s the perfect upgrade for systems where every nuance matters—from vintage jazz to cutting-edge electronica—delivering a level of resolution that’ll have you rediscovering old favourites and revealing new layers in familiar tracks.
