Triode Wire Labs interconnects vs Acoustic BBQ? vs Mad Scientist?


Has anyone auditioned/compared Triode Wire Labs Spirit II interconnects with Acoustic BBQ Double Dueland ICs? With Mad Scientist Carbon/Graphene?

Cables/interconnects lend themselves well to buying used.  If you get a good deal on wires that are fairly liquid on the used market you can try them and if they don’t work out sell them for little/no loss, and shipping is easy and fairly cheap.  One good example among many others would be Acoustic Zen Silver Reference interconnects you can get in the $400 range, which is less than half the original list price.  Best of luck. 
Tried the AZ cables. They were okay but nothing special in my rig. Still, buying used is a good idea for common brands, problematic for obscure ones. That's why soliciting input on the specific boutique brands named. 
TWL and Mad Scientist offers a 30 day trial period, BBQ offers 10 days but I’m sure they’ll extend it if you ask.
Order all three and listen for yourself.



@pmboyd — Did you try the AZ Silver Ref or Matrix Ref?  The SR is very different and much better.  I don’t much like the MR myself, and I’ve had both in my system.  
A re-sale (but unused) BBQ popped up on USAudioMart and I snagged it. May order the Triode now on trial to compare. Expect that will be enough.
