Neutral Sounding Silver Cables?


I'm looking for a new/used xlr cable to go between my Aesthetix Calypso preamp and my recently acquired Aesthetix Atlas amp. Aestetix recommends Kubala Sosna cables....and I'd love to get a pair of used Emotions, but they're a bit out of my price range for now. I'm guessing that the Kubala Sosna Emotion is a relatively neutral cable...so I've been doing some research on used cables and am looking for something less than 1k in the used market. I couple of cables sparked my interest: Siltech 550i or 770i as well as the Kimber Select 1130. Both of these cables incorporate silver. Any comments regarding these two cables? Any suggestions for cables with some silver that are neutral with bass response?

There are no neutral cables.
Try some better Purist Audio cables too. I would also try DiMarzio M-path cables, $150 or so for a 1.0 M pair new. They may not have silver in them but they are very balanced. In direct comparizon in my SS system they were very close to Purist Maximus which cost $800 new, and highs were perhaps even a little better. Not bright at all, excellent bass. Great value.
I had used a number of cables between my BAT VK-D5 and pre, before settling on the Kimber KS-1130's(about 6 years ago). They simply let everything through(freq extension-both directions, without bloat, becoming sibilant or grainy/great sound stage-WxDxH/Precise imaging/ambience information/instrumental tonality and decay, etc). Every change, that I have made downstream, has just allowed more music to flow, from the CDP and Kimbers. Ditto, with the Kimber KS-1030's, at the output of my phono pre. If a system sounds overly bright with them connected, they are simply passing an overly bright signal, from elsewhere. That is the nature of any cable that is more neutral(passes more information/signal, without editing) than another.
I should have mentioned: Do yourself a favor and contact The Cable Company, to audition a pair of Kimber KS-1130's(or whatever else suits you) for yourself, via their Lending Library. There's a small fee, that will be applied to whatever you might purchase from them(new or used). Good people to work with! (http://www.thecableco.com/Catalog/Interconnects)
Silver Audio works well in my system. I've compared them to Kimber, Transparent, Clear Day and a few others. Clear Day offers great value, but overall I prefer Silver Audio.
