IC upgrade advice - Lost

Looking for advice on upgrading my current Audioquest Sidewinder IC's. They will be used in between a Cary SLI-80 F1 and a Cambridge Audio 840C. Speakers are Merlin TSM-MMe.

I'm not looking to break the bank. Probably $200 max on the used market. These AQ IC's are the only pair that I have ever used so I have no idea what to expect with switching out IC's.

Looking for guidance. Cheers!

Look into and read up on Anti-cable IC's or a used pair of Morrow's.

Let us know what you decided on and give a comparison. Remember to first let the cables burn in for about 200hrs before making judgments especially with the Anti's.

Buying a used pair will cut down or eliminate the burn in period.
