Using 2 different brands of interconnects?

I recommend you read a few of the many cable threads on this forum, to get an idea of the nature of the discussions.

As far as mix and match is concerned, some people believe in full loom (same brand for all interconnects, speaker cables, all power cables).  Other people deliberately mix and match different brands to get the exact effect they're after.

In short, there is no consensus.

As long as the budget for cables make sense with respect to the entire system.  If you spend $1000 for a interconnect but your entire system is at $1000, there is something wrong there.  

But we do have sh-tton of arguments going on, though.

If you want to hang around for the fists thrown and ideological soap box enabled ego chest thumping posing as self affected logic derivatives..... there will be lots of it going on in this thread in.. (looks at watch)... a short while.

Stick around for the comedy show, if you can take it.....

Why, this might turn out to be this Friday nights mosh pit! Never know!

As for two different cables, well, don’t cross the streams.

“ …. $100 is relatively inexpensive for interconnects. The correct answer is, “it depends” the better your components, the bigger the difference you are likely to hear. But if your components are under a couple thousand each, it is unlikely to be noticable…”

+ 1 ….

(1) Everything in this hobby is built to its price point. At a very modest budget strata price-point for cables at $100, it is generally distilled down to just pick one of the popular brands …. And buy them pre-owned.

(2) If the audio system as a whole is unable to provide the requisite resolution for using high-end cables, its a wasted and expensive exercise.

Get whatever sounds the very best you can afford, period. You will be amazed how well this works.

This, and no harm to match brands but better still get ones from same manufacturer.
