Very good Balanced XLR cable, suggestions?

Allow me to explain what I am doing.... I am by passing my pre-amp and going direct from CD player to amp. The amp has only Balanced XLR inputs, the CD/SACD player has single ended RCA outputs only...currently. I am having the CD player modified/upgraded and having a true balanced circuit retro-fitted, among other upgrades. Now it was suggested to me to go via XLR balanced cable into the amp with the shortest run of cable possible(1meter if possible, which it is) I am using silver speaker cables and am very happy with them, so I don't know if I need silver interconnects or copper??? any suggestions?? I am thinking NBS, MIT, Kimber select, Pure Note or what ever else I can find for a good price used. But nothing is set in stone as of this point. Thanks for any help,

Tim I tried a bunch of diffrent interconnects and was the happiest with Acoustic Zen Silver Reference XLR. It is not a laid back or romatic sounding cable, it is very true to the source. To my ear it just passes more information through than any other cable I have tried.

Nordost Quattro Fil XLR will make the Acoustic Zen innerconnect sound colored. The Quattro Fil is the best IC I have ever heard.

Peace.

Hi, Tim

I am also in favour of Acoustic Zen Silver Reference. It is a silver interconnect giving all the strength of high speed, clear and crispy treble/super treble. Balanced and rich in the mid-tone and adequate and controlled bass. It is really good money for value!

MIT Oracle is also a pair of hi-end interconnect which you cannot find a single pair (so far) of interconnect which outperforms it in all respect.
