Audioquest/Acoustic Zen/Analysis Plus?


I currently have dual runs on Audioquest cv6 wiyh DBS to a pair of Paradigm Studio 100v3. The interconnect is Audioquest Jaguar with DBS. Thinking about an upgrade to dual runs of AZ Satori or a pair of Bi-Wire AP Solo Oval 8. Also, thinking about changing interconnects as well. My amp is an Aragon 8008 mk2 and 28K mk2 preamp-cd player is Cary 308. Thanks.

I was pretty happy with AP Oval Nine. I've used (am using) AZ Matrix ICs; personally, I think that AZ is a little overated. I replaced my AZ Matrix MK-2s with Nordost Red Dawns, and I think that latter works much better in my system (and it was $100 cheaper on the used market). Sometimes the most expensive and popular thing really isn't the best.
Philojet: I actually thought that the AZ WOWs were "hot" in my system. I went from those to the AZ Matrix REf MK-2s (more refined, but still "hot"), and, finally, to the Nordost Red Dawns. YOO-REEK-AH. It was all about speed, I guess. The RDs let my Cary 308 CDP, VTL Pre, and Rogue 88 amp do their thing.

Yes, Sean, is right: try it for yourself. If you mix gear like I do, you need to tweak a lot, but, if you're patient, you're gonig to find something that works.
