What's better than Oritek X-2

I have the X-2 and have tried other cables hoping to improve my systems performance and have yet to be successful.
I have tried Acoustic Zen Matrix II and the big bad Nordost Heimdals. The Nordost were faster and more detailed but, nowhere near as musical. I have also tried SuperConductor II and some cryo-silver cables. I don't like silver much. Any suggestions. I would like more speed and detail and air without losing the musicality of my system. Cary sli-80 f1, Cary 306 SACD, AZ Adagio's, speaker cable is in wall transparent, so I am stuck with that.
Thanks
Mike

This is a subjective question that only you can answer by trying cabling until you find some that please you. As you have likely discovered, there are many, many brands and models of wire recommended by users of Audiogon.

I'd suggest buying a few used pairs that interest you and testing them in your system against the Oritek X-2.

I agree with Tvad that this is a subjective question and system and component dependent...having said that...and I love the X-2's... in my personal systems I have found great happiness with the Jade audio vermeil and gold cables

I'd highly recommend anything that sounds good to you and fits your budget.

I hope that's not too specific.
