Budget-Friendly Interconnects?

Nicodemex, I'll make a deal with you, buy a pr of the cheapest Analaysis Plus from Audio Advisor ,which is near AP and probaly their biggest dealer, and if it doesn't do what you want, I will buy it from you for just what you paid for the cables, you pay for Priority Mail shipping.

Thank you all for the kind suggestions so far. Warm, harmonically rich, without sacrificing much detail.

Has anyone compared the Acoustic Zen WOW and Harmonic Technology Truthlink?

Schubert, I appreciate the offer and is one I will consider.

Thank you.

NuForce's IC700, if it's still available. I believe an RCA-equipped 1 meter pair retails for ~$200.

I use the IC700's in my own system between the poweramp and DAC, where it replaced a DIY solution with Mundorf's teflon insulated 0.5mm Silver/gold wires. To my ears the IC700 simply sounds more right in comparison, at least in my setup, lending a more coherent, colorful, dynamically astute, and see-through presentation. Particularly the midrange seems to have gotten new life as if weawing together the presentation as a whole more naturally. Not mid-heavy, mind you, but shying away from the more laid-back and slightly "incongruent" imprinting here from the Mundorf solution. Nothing has been sacrificed in the department of resolution, micro details, or transparency where silver wires usually shine - something that surprised me, to be honest...

Whether the IC700's qualities translates to your setup and taste I know not, but a recommendation nonetheless :)

The original AZ Matrix Refs (NOT the Ref II) should be in your budget used and do what you're looking for.
