Different results may ocur with different gear, that said, I was using a Cardas GR IC and tried an Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference IC from CD to integrated and prefered the AZ.
The AZ Silver Ref mk1 and then mk2 were the best IC's I had tried until the Audience Au24. The Cardas NR and AZ Matrix mk1 sounded very similar in my system. I have not tried the Cardas Golden Ref IC.
I use the AZ silver which work well for me. I've just been evaluating the Audience cables and I found them closed in and uninteresting, even after burn in. What am I missing?
