Best Cables for ARC gear

OK, I started a few months ago upgrading and can't stop! The current question is one frequently asked but if I may I will pose this question again:
Best balanced cables for ARC gear, ACR CDMKII-ARC LS25MKII-ARC VT100MKII. I have Single ended cables (Cardas Gold Ref and Transparent Plus) They each sound different for sure but when switching to standard mic cable, it totally blows the RCA's away. Not just more gain but cleaner, clearer,deeper, stronger, etc. I cant let my friends see cheap mic cables in my rig so I would like some opinion from those who have ARC gear. BTW for the purpose of this IC quest I have paired CD/PRE with my pair of Genelec studio monitors which in the near field can reveal EVERYTHING! Thank you

Ok that was just a joke about what my friends think about cables.
My comments about the "cheap" cables were more to point out a reality (given the electronics that I have) that going balanced even with "cheap" cables noticeably out preformed some "hi-end" single ended cables.
Therefore I am interested in some really good Bal interconnects that will again make a noticeable improvement. I would like to try the ARC cables but I never see them for sale. And I will try the power cords as well.
Thank you for responses...all of them!
