Upgrading to AZ Silver Reference II

I agree with Teajay. I'm currently doing an extended home audition with the Silver Ref 11 (RCA) to compare to my Matrix 11's (XLR). Whilst my fully balanced amp and phono stage seem to prefer the XLR interconnects which makes comparisons a little loose...the Matrix's have more weight on some music but this is an addition to the music. The Silver refs are more neutral and not at all bright. EG, cymbals have more detail and appear a little more front of stage compared to the Matrix's..but this a more a reflection on the Matrix's personality than the Silver Refs if you get my meaning.

I read on one of the article on the Internet that the best is to combine the matrix and the silver when u have a preamp and amp.

Interesting, Iam looking to get loaner Silver Ref II to try before buy. I have to see if I can get.

i've tried the silver ref 2's and matrix in my system. when compared to the matrix, the ref 2's were more detailed but i found them to be a tad to forward/bright.

as always....this will depend on your set-up and preferences.

love my satori shotguns though.

cheers

Wondering how many of the Acoustic Zen silver and matrix users are one, using them with an analog system and two, how many tube systems are using Acoustic Zen cables? I have a tube/tt system and wondering if I should even try the cables??? Thanks
