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

Can't comment about Acoustic Zen, however this past week
I bought balanced HT Pro-Silway II interconnects for my
solid-state system:

Levinson #37/360/26/27.5
TacT RCS 2.0
Magnepan 1.6QR
Rel Strata III

The Pro-Silway II expanded the soundstage, offered a significant increase in detailing without harshness, and
tightened up the bass. The system sounds more dynamic
and seems more "alive". It was definitely an improvement.
Cables tend to be system dependent, so it would be
speculation to say how it will work in your system, but
for me it was worth the investment.
