Mcintosh or Tributaries series 8 ab mk11 balanced interconnects, thoughts good or bad

I purchased 4 Mcintosh 1 meter balanced interconnects for my mac. system. I noticed some improvement over my Home made cables. Mostly that they were a little quieter . I found a little less noise or harshness in the music. But I wasn't totally happy with them. My home mades have good and bad to. I have 60 days to return, so I purchased Tributaries series 8 to compare them with.Thoughts of the two or other options appreciated .
