Interconnects

What specific improvements would you like to achieve from your current interconnects?

Well I won't be able to tell until I get my new amp really. But I was wondering what people who have used Mackenzies in the past found improved when they upgraded interconnects or have they stayed with this level of Audioquest and found no level of improvement if they went to a higher level.

Make sure it is well broken in, several hundred hours and lots of listening time. Only then try swapping in a better interconnect when you know the new sound of your system inside and out. Borrow from desler or Cable company.

also your equipment is worthy of a much better interconnect than $500. Of course the sound quality improvement you hear must be worth it to you. The Ref is definitely worthy of $1 - $2K for instance.

Use your current interconnects and enjoy your new components.  after you have fully formed your opinions and understand your new sound, then consider new interconnects.  It will be clearer to you then.

Yeah, don’t put the cart before the horse.  Settle into the new amp first and go from there.  I agree that your equipment could benefit significantly from better interconnects when the time comes.  The good news is it’s really easy to buy/sell used cables these days and try them out for little/no loss.
