MIT Matrix rev 60 speaker cables. Has anyone listened to them?


I’m very tempted to try these cables out with a no risk 30day money back Guarantee. They’re offered exclusively here on Audiogon by Joe Abrams. Joe seems like a real nice person. My conscience doesn’t 
want me to just get them to hear what they sound like and then return them, but without knowing if they’re as good as Joe says they’re it’s a 50/50 roll the dice situation. He states they’re better then the older Oracle 1.2 model that not too long ago was MIT’s top cables. Has anyone heard them?

@mikey8811 - It is my understanding that the SL line was meant to be budget/entry level, not providing near the sound quality of the Matrix HD or even the older Magnum MA.
@hiendmmoe - I do have Matrix HD 38 interconnects, but didn't notice quite the jump in sound improvement as the initial installation of the Matrix HD speaker cables provided in my system. Definitely a synergy there, but I would describe it as just 'incrementally more great sound' as opposed to going from a 'good' to 'great' jump in sound quality that the speaker cables provided.
I have a pair of the Matrix 60 HD biwire. Just outstanding. Should be required equipment with Wilson speakers. I stumbled onto a pair at a great price so while still not cheap, made it easier. They really are like a significant component upgrade, though some folks here yell 'heresy!' and really balk at that notion. Depending on budget, I would also consider the Matrix 38. PM me if you would like more info.
Small *correction* - I mentioned above that my interconnects are HD38. They are actually the HD36, not HD38, which are speaker cables. It appears the Matrix HD series vintage is around 2012(?), not sure.

Here’s a recent (last month-June 25, 2020) review of some of the more current EVO cables:

I would agree with most of the review's descriptions, except for his reference to hearing a very slight forwardness. First time I've ever heard any MIT cables described that way. The cable's detail and ability to isolate individual voices and instruments is a little surprising (front row effect) at first, but they portray accurate front to back soundstage depth to me (and in my system).
