DH Labs Air Matrix IC:: Level of sound quality?


I was recommended the DH Labs "Air Matrix" interconnects for both my Rega CD player and amp/pre-amp combo of BelCanto PRe-3 pre-amp and Red Dragon M-500 monoblock amps. I am trading in some old cables for new. However, I know little about the level of sound quality or synergy of the DH Labs IC's.

I have been recommeded Acoustic Zen Absolute which are too expensive even used. Chord Company "Cadenza" which are about $395. The trade deal is seemingly good, but would like some input about the DH Lab cables.

I also need a recommedation for an IC between a Jolida JD-9 phono stage and the Bel Canto pre-amp. System needs a dose of musicality, though sounds good at present with the two 20 year old IC's I am currently using.

Replaced my XLR DHLabs with Ultimate silver series C4 when I needed something longer. The DHLabs were good but the Ultimates were better in my system. $ 65 to $90. Essentially, just dressed-up mil-spec/aviation wire that I couldn't build for any less. Carl is going to hate me for saying that. Okay, they're cryo'd too. His speaker cables are really good. Smooth like silk. Cables are a fairly tiny 3 to 4% of my setup and that's a lot of cables being active biamped.
