I asked about cables some years ago on the Gon and was guided towards AZ. The advise then was to mix Matrix and Silver reference to get the best of both. I still use AZ, but all Silver reference with Hologram speaker cables and have no plans to change. To me the Silver reference, together, produce a more detailed , dynamic sound, the matrix were more congested in the base particularly. In other systems, the origonal advise about mixing, might work better. As an aside, I think the Hologram made way more difference than the interconnects, but I recently added Walker Audio HDL links to the speaker inputs. They are outrageously expensive new, for what they are, they must cost $10 to make, but they work remarkably well, adding greater clarity to the treble particularly and less hash
Have AZ Martrix Ref II's/ Compare to Silver Ref 2
I currently have the Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference II IC's between my Sony Modwright 999ES and Dussun V8i integrated. How does the Silver Reference II compare to the Matrix Ref II in terms of midrange/ midbass, low end, overeall weight, and slam? I have no experience with silver cables but my research says that silver IC's have a leaner presentation with less midrange fullness, less bass weight, less low end presence and slam. Is this also true of the Silver Reference II compared to the Matrix Reference II? thanks
