Triode Wire Labs interconnects vs Acoustic BBQ? vs Mad Scientist?

@pmboyd — Did you try the AZ Silver Ref or Matrix Ref?  The SR is very different and much better.  I don’t much like the MR myself, and I’ve had both in my system.  

Cables/interconnects lend themselves well to buying used.  If you get a good deal on wires that are fairly liquid on the used market you can try them and if they don’t work out sell them for little/no loss, and shipping is easy and fairly cheap.  One good example among many others would be Acoustic Zen Silver Reference interconnects you can get in the $400 range, which is less than half the original list price.  Best of luck.
