I wonder if DH labs or Cardas make a warmer cable than the Matrix Ref II?  
Zavfino and Neotech OCC Interconnect
I ended up not liking either. Synergistic research was just too bright in my system, and the audience was better, but still not better than what I had. I think I have found the weak link in my cable setup and it the RCA interconnect. @audphile1 ...

@audphile1 Just an update. I have a pair of synergistic research foundation cables coming, as well as a demo audience ohno. Both speaker cables and interconnects. I will report back soon.

I do very much agree about what might sound good in one system may not in the next. I also have no way of testing out lots of cables easily so getting input on what others liked is a start and I can narrow it down from there.    I really apprecia...

The bigger question is why would he make something like that up?? 14 months is a lot of time if you do not work full time and if most cables are already broken in because they are used.

@bugredmachine What IC in the $300-$400 new or used would you recommend? Also what SC in the $600-$700 range new or used. I did go through a lot on your list but most were out of my budget.

@audphile1 I will reach out to him. To confirm you think the AZ options we talked about will be a step up from the Audience Ohno line?  
Zavfino and Neotech OCC Interconnect
@audphile1 Did a search for the AZ IC you mentioned but was not able to find a used 1M RCA variant. I might wait for a used one to come up as I am not in a huge hurry. Is the AZ Satori SC the only one I should keep an eye out for on the used marke...

@bugredmachine That is a crazy list of cables you tried! My budget for IC is around $300 and SC is around $600-$700. Anything in that list fit those prices? I started to go through the list but thats a long one :)) What I am trying to find is a ve...

@audphile1 I can not use spades as my speaker end only has bananas. Going to look further into DH Labs and the AZ product before I buy the Audience Ohno. Is there any other options in the AZ line that fits my budget that I should be looking at?  
Zavfino and Neotech OCC Interconnect
@audphile1 Thanks for all of your great input. Much appreciated. Trying to stay under a 1k for speaker cables and one interconnect.   
Zavfino and Neotech OCC Interconnect
I haven’t pulled the trigger yet, but did look at the DH labs and didn’t think it would stack up as well against the Ohno. Pure assumption as I have heard neither.   
Zavfino and Neotech OCC Interconnect
Just found a pretty good deal on a used Ohno interconnect with cardas connectors so might just go that route and also get the Ohno III speaker cables. If the AZ had bananas I would have picked them up at that price.   
Zavfino and Neotech OCC Interconnect
@audphile1 What would be warmer the AZ or the Ohno III speaker cable?  
Zavfino and Neotech OCC Interconnect
@audphile1 Thanks for the great info. I had just started looking into the Audience OHNO III speaker cable after you mentioned the interconnect.That is pretty much at the top of my price point but has my attention for sure. Kimber, Cardas and DHla...
