Cables for an MBL Reference system?


Does anybody out there have any real life exp. or suggestions to maximize an MBL Reference rig?(101e's,6010d,1621a,1611f,9008a's).
I love the Radialstrahlers and probably never go back to a box speaker again, they just do magic to live recordings.
With all of the accolades that the 6010d pre has gotten, I wonder if the NOT truly balanced mode may be hurting my case, but many of my source recordings need it.
I listen to mostly live, older source material(GD, Allmans, NRPS and other acoustic/bluegrass/jamband music and/or female vocal stuff(Natalie, Kraus/Jewel etc).
I've been swaping out different cables for a few years and am stuck in the world of compromise.
Tara's don't cut it(too dark) without going to the Zero/Omega's, just rediculious $$ for wire.
Wireworlds(as recommended by MBL) have interesting coherency and great mid-upper end resolution, but don't cut it on the bottom end(Gold Eclipse 5 speaks), and their copper cables are too slow.
Has anybody tried any MIT, Kharma or any other high end stuff that may fit the bill.

Thanx in advance for any feedback.

I have all MBL electronics (1621A, 1611F, 6010D, 9011's) and Kharma Reference 1E speakers. I've used Kubala Sosna Emotion cabling and power cords with great success. Very natural sound and good soundstage. More recently I switched some of my K-S cables to Kharma's Enigma Signature IC and SC and there was a significant improvement. I suggest you contact Bill Parish at GTT Audio. He carries MBL, K-S, Kharma and can probably point you in the right direction.
