Attention Esoteric CD/SACD Players Owners

I have a Esoteric UX-3 Universal player that went for around 8,500.00. Presently I am using a MIT AVT 1 interconnect from the player to my preamp. I really love the sound of the system as is, but I am wondering if I am really hearing all the player has to offer by using a 200.00 cable on an 8,500.00 component. Other than using the Esoteric branded cables which are waaaay too expensive, what are other Esoteric owners using? Do I really need to spend a lot of money to get a good match, as I want to keep the price reasonable.

I really like the sound with the MIT AVT1 cables. I tried 2 other sets of cables in the 200.00 range and still liked the MIT's best. I just wonder if I am reaping the full benefits of this player with the associated cable?

I replaced the MIT AVT1 cable with a Kimber Silver Streak which I bought used on the Gon. It has done exactly what I was hoping it would do and I am very happy..

@jafant,

I forgot to mention in our correspondence that I am now using Acrolink cables on my Esoteric player.  I use a pair of Acrolink stereo interconnects, an Acrolink digital cable and Acrolink power cord. It made a huge and worthwhile difference and buying second hand didn’t hurt the wallet that bad.
