Looking to Develop A Short List For An Interconnect

I have two amplifiers here, they sound a bit different. Pre-amplifier is a Trinnov Amethyst. 

First amp is a Matrix Audio MA-1 and its quite interesting. Reminds me a lot of my Classe Omega I have owned. A bit lean in the mids and a bit vibrant in the top end. I enjoy listening to them, my JBL 4367 sound like electrostats. But the mid band is lean. I use a pair of Wireworld Silver Eclipse 10 XLR interconnects between amp and pre.  Problem is I do not own this amp. 

The second amp is a Constellation Audio Inspiration 1.0, which I have recently acquired. This is supposed to be my long term amplifier, so the one I need to work with. I find it quite a bit darker and richer than the Matrix amplifier. From what I had read of the Constellation amplifier, this rich tube like presentation is not expected. So far the best sound I have gotten with it is with a pair of Wireworld Gold Eclipse 8 I have. 

So I am looking to develop a short list of interconnects to explore. I want something that is a degree or two more upfront and energetic than the Wireworld. Ideally I will go to the used market so that I can buy and sell if needed. But new is not out of the question. 

I have wondered about Nordost, maybe some of the upper level Kimber. But any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Acrolink most recent range of Cables is using D.U.C.C Signal Wire yes what's not to like. It adds a hint of Rich Tonality,  but not muddied, overbearing, bogged down Richness of Tone that a selection of Audio Users needs to perceive is present in an End Sound produced.

My preferred is Transparent, when I feel a little Tonal Richness will be desirable the D.U,C,C Wire is added, but it does live permanently as the COAX Umbilical for the CDT> DAC.

It is used not permanently but regularly between SUT and Phon' and Phon > Pre Amp, certain Tracks just really come to life with the hint off Tonal Richness and a sense of underpinning the lower frequency and reducing brilliance.

You might try some solid silver interconnects, in your price range, for more upper midrange & highs.
