I have AZ SIlver Ref MkII from CD to preamp and Matrix Ref MkII from preamp to amp. I like this combo better than Matrix Ref MkII everywhere or Silver Ref MkII everywhere. 2 Motrix MkII cables was too much of a good thing. Music was missing some liveliness. 2 of Silver Ref MkII was too much silver. Not natural sounding. Silver Ref MkII from CDP to pre and Matrix Ref MkII from pre to amp strikes a nice balance between lively and smooth.
Now that being said, cables are very system dependant and what you hear in your system may not be what someone elses system sounds like with the same cables. You have to try. That's the only way to determine if a sound of specific cable is neutral to YOU. There is no neutral cable. They all have some sort of a sonic character.
What are the components you're buying the cables for?
