Good Better Best Interconnects

I think the 'sweet spot' in the AZ IC lineup are the Matrix Reference MKI which are almost as good as the MKII and only about $175 - $200 and they easily better the WOW (which are quite good) for only about $50 more.

TVAD,

I should have stated that I have ProAc Tablette 50 speakers(shortly upgrading to the Tablette Reference 8 Signature speakers) on heavily weighted stands as is equipment(and using ? high end handmade purchased years ago, planning to also replace these shortly)... I had been usuing Levinson & Van den Hul IC's & other cables but I've had to move & rearrange my equipment rack to accomodate extra euipment & monitor etc. no room now & need extra length , 1.3-1.5 mtres blah blah blah ...
I think you missed my point T,as I described the equipment (sytem) I am using (& plan to get)!!!,
also, I have spent coutless hours & I mean more than I can remember reading at least 1/2 forums ( hundreds +++ )getting eye strain & headaches & neckaches trying to get some helpful info, that would save me ( wasting more $, as I have upgraded my system over the years, & I have yet to come up with anything to resolve this.

I Have numerous cables, that I cannot sell, that sit in a huge heap looking like mating'snakes in heat'! $ wasted as I cannot sell , so I prefer not thowing away more of my hard earned precious little resources ... I just returned from a very expensive trip to Asia & will go again in the spring ( I have other plans for my $ ) , so I want to keep this cable replacement endevour down to a dull roar, as I have already spent wasted $ thousands of $ that now sit breading & as I have now learned long ago, you cannort always sell what you buy usually sits taking up & wasting space (of which I have alot ), & esp. Not for what you paid for it, lucky if you get Even 50% in this day & age/market !!!...

As I have just ( last week ) received & hooked up my Mc MR85 Tuner to my Mc MA6900,( & will be upgrading the rest in a while, but want to enjoy the Tuner now), I though I might get a , at least a few intelligent helpful responses from maybe some that have or had similar equipment as I, but I guess/ obviously that is too much to ask ;),

Of course I know that everything being equal, which is not always the case,the system depend scenario is part of the equation...

Maybe you can afford to play & maybe win ( most likely & honestly not ) your ZERO Game, I cannot & plan not to ... A

So now the more I read 'Your' Helpful ;) responses this is sounding more & more like an elitest chess site/forum , where everybody is a so called smart *ss expert that can't come down from their high horse to respond in a helpful manner ...

In parting TVAD etc ( well actually there were a few insightful helpful appreciated responses, thx vm ) You can keep playing Your ZERO Game & think You are gaining & winning as you flush more of your endless $ & down Your Porcellan Goddess , but I choose not to , I will endur & enjoy inspite of You & Enjoy My $ system & Life ;)...

Thx T

Tvad ...

Yes, I should have made it clearer , but was in a hurry when I wrote it was on my out, also the 2nd post as you can tell from the numerous errors (sp) & in what was put in & left out.

Anyhow aside from that , it is not so easy here to deal with the few dealers with the limited choice & difficulty in borrowing or using in your system to see how they fare for a adequate period of time ( esp. if they need braking in ) 2-4 weeks or so . that's 1 huge problem , and selling 2nd hand used cables is a Royal PAIN IN THE Ass, more trouble than it's worth to me, sorry to say !!!

Also it's very diff. to get back & change or alter my cabling & anything back there, so must be more than sure that the change might hopefully / should be worth it

After my 2nd post & seemingly few positive responses, I got ahold of somebody that could get them ( not a reatier & so cut out the middle man )& let me try both of these cables below ( not sure if I could get other cables in a timely fashion, as I wanted & needed to get this done now, Xmas coming & have company coming soon)so, as from some posts & reviews floating around, I decided to try the Au24 IC's , and got a 2nd Au PC for my Mc MR85 Tuner , already have one on my Mc MA6900, will be getting a 3rd to go along with my Shunyata Power Snake DiamondBack PC's ...

I also got a loan of a new pair of Analysis Plus Oval 9 Speaker Cables all on the weekend , so will no hopefully sooner than later how all fare , well actually I have to replace my CD/DVD p to truly hear the overall diff, but at least I'll know from the Tuner ...

It's been along time since I've changed my cabling ( long long overdue ) & was dreading the fact I have to go back there & tackle this migrane , so that's why I required some thoughtful positive user input , from some ppl that have had experience with some of these to give me a head start & maybe same me a bigger more problematic expensive headache , as I mentioned it is very diff. to tackle this situation on my own ...

So without further ado, I've made the leap & hopefully I 'll be ahead of the game & land on my feet running ... ( Zero Sum Or Not & I do understand that but have yet to win or even come close to getting even, never mind taking alot of Audio & Financial boondoggles , [ just look in my locker :( ... ]

I understand also it's diff. for diff. ppl, so I try to budget as much as I can reasonably afford as I have limited funds unlike some ppl, by the equipment they have & how often they change it ,( maybe more than I should & then some ) trying to keep it down to a dull roar as I said, & then still have enought to take 8 weeks off here & there & go to Mexico in the winter or Korea & Japan etc. Man does not live on sitting in & listening & watching ;)

The world is out there beckoning & there is much to see & learn & enjoy :) & then come home & listen & watch ;)...

I will know in a few weeks or month with or without my new DVD/CDP ...

Thx for ...

That's all folks,
