Upgrading to AZ Silver Reference II

Due to upgrade bug, Iam looking to change my Acoustic Zen Matrix reference II ICs to Silver Reference II. My setup id CD player to Anthem AVM Pre-processor (No DAC) using AZ MC2 digital cable, Anthem to Parasound power amp using AZ Matrix reference. Speaker (Paradigm Studio 60 v.3) are connected by AZ Satori Shotgun.
I want to change the Matrix ICs to Silver ICs. But I am not sure if it will be a step up or give more brightness to the system. Looking for your expert advises. Thanks.

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.

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
