Harmonic Technology vs Acoustic Zen Recomendations

I have done a lot of research into both companys’ interconnects. I realize the best way to make a decision after thorough research is to audition within my system. I would like to have some discourse on the HT Pro Silway II vs. the Matrix Reference, and possibly the Silver Reference.

I am looking to determine which interconnect will MOST LIKELY sound best with good solid state electronics (Kenwood L-02T tuner and L-02A integrated amp and Denon DCD-1650AR player) and Thiel 3.6 or Vandersteen 4A speakers (for those unfamiliar with the L-02A, it is on par with some of the very best with a dampening factor of 10,000). I know everything is relative, but surely some comments could come forward as to the best likelihood of sonic bliss on a budget with regard to these ICs. With both cables having their origin from Robert Lee, they may be more alike than different. What might be the differences? TIA, Jason

Zaikesman, you are correct about the "quest" for better electronics. Always, the more the better, within a budget. However, this is one very special L-02A, possessing sonic qualities very atypical of the traditional "Kenwood" venue. It was their research laborartory equipment, costing many thousands each when produced. Only few were ever sold. Not many know of them. And yes, that was not a typo on the 10,000 dampening factor; has a separate power supply. I will have an opportunity to directly compare the L-02A to more traditionally well-known high end electronics.

Back on the subject, I really appreciate everyone's contribution on the cable recommendation. It seems as though there is a difference of opinions as to the potential benefit of the extra dollars spent on the Acoustic Zen. I will get a hold of a pair of AZ to compare.
