Upgrading-Clear Days to Nordost Tyr 2 or Frey 2 vs Cerious Matrix IC's and speaker cables

Hello everyone. I need your help.
I’m in the process of upgrading my Clear Day double shotgun speaker cables and IC’s.
I prefer musicality, micro and macro dynamics, speed and transients, and air and soundstage width and depth vs warmth.

I am very happy with what my Clear days are delivering I just want a more refinement in what it does well.
The ClearDays are generally neutral with good soundstage width height and depth. Musical but not overly warm, or thick sounding. Good bass presense with nice but not overly harsh highs. I am looking for more front to back layering of the sound-stage, detail in the mids and lows, plus balanced bottom to top performance across the entire frequency spectrum.

My 2 channel listening system consists of a Modwright Oppo with a GEC U52 rectifier and 75 silver shield "holy grail reflectors" output tubes. My amp is currently a BAT VK-6200 feeding into PSB T3’s supplemented with a REL S5. I use REL bassline Blue and AQ Boxer cables to connect my REL S5.

Has anyone demo’d both Nordost and the Matrix lines?
How do they compare? What is the Matrix house sound vs the Nordost?
Performance wise how does Matrix compare to both Frey 2 and Tyr 2?

Thanks everyone for your input and help. :)

Thank you for the comparison.
That’s part of what I want to hear. How much superior from my Clear Days are the Nordosts/Matrix and how, and how do the Nordosts compare with Cerious Matrix???

The Nordost are very very fast, revealing, on darksounding system they work better, t prefer the Cerious Technogy Cables on my bright sounding system, remember matching is very important...

EDIT-I currently have 2 Puritanlabs 156 power conditioners in my system as we as an PS Audio AC12 from VK-6200 to PL 156 as well as upgraded cables from all of my other components to the PL 156's.

I was an early adopter of Clear Day speaker cables: the double shotgun were the best of them, plus his XLR cables. All were exceptional value. One has to spend a lot more to get more


Now I am using WireWorld series 7 XLRs from my Oppo105 direct to my RIc Schultz EVS 1200 + WireWorld power cords, which provide a big improvement to overall sound and presentation

Could well be that a Core Power Deep Core would solve your concerns. It goes between the wall and ones PC with adjustments to dial in accurate voltage

I went from expensive Nordost (oxymoron?) to ClearDay cables and never looked back. I feel kind of foolish for what I paid for the Nordost and have absolutely no desire to try other cables. Once you have synergy you stay put IMO.
