While searching for best interconnects between my Lampizator Pacific and Neptune, I have tried a lot of various RCA interconnects, including Audience AU24SX, Albedo Monolith Reference, Homogenix (Polish brand that recently started with high end phono cartridges), Kondo KSL VZ II, some models of Tellurium, selected more expensive Audioquest cables, Harmonix HS 101and a few more.
Recently I have come across Polish brand MB Audio cables. They specialize in silver cables, but often with some addition of other materials like gold etc.
Apparently MB Audio is in the market for over 10 years, and they have quite a wide selection of various speaker cables, usb cables, phono cables (supposedly very good) and then interconnects.

Long story short me and my friend (who also has combination of Pacitic and Neptune but with very different speakers) tried three different interconnects from MB Audio: DIamond, Silver and Evolution. I have ended up with purchasing and installing MB Audio Silver in my setup between Pacific and Neptune and he selected Evolution.
Cables are exceptional when it comes to price/performance ratio. I would say it is ridiculous how much you can get for so little cash.
Key aspect for me is naturalness: cables are super musical (violins sound super natural), very even across all parts of the spectrum (excellent bass, super articulate midrange and very good treble), detailed but very coherent, instruments are very real with excellent body, space is three-dimensional and very good. Evolution has a bit more resolution and space, Silver has a bit more musicality and body.

I am not in any way affiliated to MB Audio or audio industry in general, just came across these exceptional interconnects and wanted to share with community here about my experience (to be honest I think they don't even have webpage in English).
I will definitely try out speaker cables, usb cables and also phono cables going forward.

Hi!

What are your direct comparative sonic impressions between the MB and the Albedo?
 
In my setup (Pacific/Neptune and then Wavacs MD805m) Albedo doesn't work well. I have tried Monolith Reference both interconnects and speaker cables and both were not a good fit.
My favorite choice in the past was always Audience AU24SE and then later AU24SX for interconnects. I also like very much PSC Audio, but I don't think they exist anymore and it is difficult to come across their cables in 2nd hand market. I still have PSC Audio Litz III.
For speaker cables I have used for a very long time Auditorium A23.

As interconnects Albedo Monolith Reference is definitely not my cup of tea.
For speaker cables they were not even close to Auditorium A23. Don't get me wrong - Albedo are very good cables, but just not for me.

For speakers I ended up with bi-wiring Auditorium A23 for treble and Homogenix (copper based) speaker cables for bass part.

On the interconnect side - I recently swapped to MB Audio (Pacific to Neptune) and cannot be more happy. I still keep PSC Audio between my phono preamp and Neptune.
