Best used 500 1m XLR interconnects

I'm leaning toward Harmonic Techology Magic Links.

What about Acoustic Zen Silver Reference, AZ Matrix, or Cardas Golden Reference?

Will silver cables ALWAYS brighten a system?

Any other ic's I should consider?

Current cabling is:

o Harmonic Technology Magic Link 1m XLR ic's for cd to pre.
(sold 1m pr of Pro Silway Mk II's for the Magic Links)
o Harmonic Technology Pro Silway Mk II 2m XLR ic's for pre
to amp.
o Harmonic Technology Pro 9 Plus 10 ft bi-wire speaker
cables.

My system is all SS and very articulate already(IMO). Therefore, silver may be a concern perhaps the first pair of Magic Links have already begun to look over that fine line toward being overly bright but am still evaluating.

Thanks,
stehno

I have all SS & voiced it for digital playback only and also cannot stand brightness at all. I tried HT Pro Silways to the CD & found them to be a bit bright. I have settled on Luminous Audio Synchestra Sigs to the amp (XLR) & RCA's to the CD. I also run the Renaissance Speaker cable in a true bi-wire setup.

I tried various combinations of cables for about 1 1/2 years before settling on Luminous. I don't check the classifieds all the time but can't remember seeing any used Synchestra Sigs although you could contact Luminous & see if they have any used or demo ones.

Just for clarification, Luminous Audio Synchestra Signature IC cables are copper. The Synchestra IC's are silver, as are the Synchestra speaker cables. New the Synchestra Sigs are $549.00 1m XLR.

As for silver cables, regardless if I used at IC or speaker, they brightened up my system. I forgot to mention that the Stealth PGS was one of the smoothest IC's I've heard & you could probably pick up a used pair around your asking price.

Bottom line is, of course, trust your ears.
