XLR cable with warmth without losing resolution

Would like to keep it under $1000ish a metre. 
Not sure if warmth and resolution are considered oxymorons, but I mean I wouldn’t like to lose information but the cable to have a warm tonal signature.

Purist Neptune seems to be a front runner but is pricey , any alternatives or any one with experience on Neptune who can advice?

I own 5 different brands and geometries of XLRs. If you owned correctly engineered differentially balaced electronics (ie Ayre) you would agree with Stringreen.

Harmonic technology. Somehow they are warm but have very good resolution. My whole system uses them. Not ultra expensive. Since I have had those, I dont even bother with cable anymore. Truth Link is what you would be looking for. You can find them used on eBay.

I'm going to demo Cardas Clear Reflection ICs and SCs as they are supposed to be the best balance between warm organic and still good resolution.

My Thiel CS 3.7s tend to be bright with silver cabling therefore in really need to try other cables.

I friend of mine has Tellurium Q Black Diamond and he's very happy with the sound.
