Interconnects with smooth highs 4 Manley Stingray
Mjordanas, I haven't traded out alot of cables in that paticular system so I can't help you with alot of experience in that regard. The cd that I use to get this aspect right is: EL CANT DE LA SIBIL-LA , Malloria-Valencia 1400-1560, Montserrat Fig...

I liked the sound I got from both Acoustic Zen Matrix and silver referance II's with my Mahi's.
