Budget-Friendly Interconnects?

Hi, my system is:

Tekton Lores
Heed Obelisk Si w/X2 PSU
Cambridge Audio Azur 840C
Clear Day Shotgun speaker cables
Speltz Anti-IC's with Eichman RCA's

I am looking to switch out the Anti-IC with something else; hopefully better. If I can get a little extra warmth out of my system without sacrificing resolution, I;d be more than happy. Budget is around $200. I was thinking of trying out the Morrow MA3's as I've heard a lot of praise for them.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

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

Just an update: I got a good deal on a pair of Cardas Golden Reference IC's and they are in every way superior to what I had previously. In my system, everything I was looking for and more.

I can only share what I’ve tried and my thoughts. Started with Blue Jean and entry-ish Wire World interconnects—these were good but not a “wow”. Then made an audible jump to DH Labs Silversonic that delivered a wider listening window and general sense of ease. Last year went to Audio Art Cable Copper Cryo XLRs and, wow, these doubled again the ease, fluidity and openness of my system. Key factors in both DH Labs and AAC purchases were direct queries and discussions with Greg and Rob, respectively, who concisely and helpfully narrowed down what I was looking for and which of their cables could help. I’m happy with the process to get to this point and settled in firmly with the AACs.
