Budget-Friendly Interconnects?

Just an update: I got a good deal on a pair of Cardas Golden Reference IC's and they are in every way superior to what I had previously. In my system, everything I was looking for and more.

The original AZ Matrix Refs (NOT the Ref II) should be in your budget used and do what you're looking for.

NuForce's IC700, if it's still available. I believe an RCA-equipped 1 meter pair retails for ~$200.

I use the IC700's in my own system between the poweramp and DAC, where it replaced a DIY solution with Mundorf's teflon insulated 0.5mm Silver/gold wires. To my ears the IC700 simply sounds more right in comparison, at least in my setup, lending a more coherent, colorful, dynamically astute, and see-through presentation. Particularly the midrange seems to have gotten new life as if weawing together the presentation as a whole more naturally. Not mid-heavy, mind you, but shying away from the more laid-back and slightly "incongruent" imprinting here from the Mundorf solution. Nothing has been sacrificed in the department of resolution, micro details, or transparency where silver wires usually shine - something that surprised me, to be honest...

Whether the IC700's qualities translates to your setup and taste I know not, but a recommendation nonetheless :)

Thank you all for the kind suggestions so far. Warm, harmonically rich, without sacrificing much detail.

Has anyone compared the Acoustic Zen WOW and Harmonic Technology Truthlink?

Schubert, I appreciate the offer and is one I will consider.

Thank you.

Nicodemex, I'll make a deal with you, buy a pr of the cheapest Analaysis Plus from Audio Advisor ,which is near AP and probaly their biggest dealer, and if it doesn't do what you want, I will buy it from you for just what you paid for the cables, you pay for Priority Mail shipping.

I have owned.do own HT, MAC and Morrow, looms of the latter two. Im my two systems the under $100 Analysis Plus oval IC's smoke all of them in just the way the OP desired.
And I have MA-3 and 4's as well as MAC Paladiums which are way above the Ultra Silvers and a very fine IC.

Morrow cables are not warm.They are clean and clear.Nice cables but probably not what you're looking for.Harmonic Technology are warmish cables.I have a pair of M.A.C. Velvets in my "spare" box if you'd like to give 'em a try.Pay for shipping and you are welcome to borrow them.

Hi,my recommendation is a oldy but a goody,tara labs master.

I'd check in with Grover Huffman and check his SX IC prices, I doubt that you'd be dissappointed with the results.

If you can try a pair of AAD incredibles diamond model great performance for $180 1 meter list.
Best

I see you have Clear Day Double Shotguns (which I just got last week). Why not consider Clear Day ICs. They are under $200 I believe. I have a pair and they sound quite good.

I have tries all the above, while they are ok, I find the cheapest Anyalsis Pus IC's do exactly what you want for less cash.

I have had good luck with MAC my audio cables
