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

My general advice to you is to get together enough cash to buy two or three sets of i/c's used. Compare them all and sell what you don't want. Different cables in general do respond better/worse in different systems.

I like spm(my favorite - very transparent and works with everything),kimber 1120(transparent, nice soft , refined presentation), az silver ref (similar to a pro-silway).
I think the az silver ref is overpriced compared to pro-silway II, but quite a few people feel otherwise.

For speaker cables, I feel that the az satori is the cabling steal of the century. It's really hard to justify buying much more expensive cables when these just sound great.
