need a new IC cable ( rca )

i am in the market for a new IC cable that can either go from preamp to amp or preamp to cd player. i just need one as i already have one pair of Purist Audio Musaeus cable.

I like the Purist Audio as it has a black background, and still lets detail come thru.

needs to be rca .

budget would be $200-400?

no silver

equipment is as follows :

 

tube preamp

inndersound esl 300 amp

ayre cx7 cd player

Keep the same brand for all IC's, if you like Purist Audio, keep it

Since you like Purist, look for a used pair of Aqueous Aureus (not the early models). There's a major improvement in clarity and dynamics over Museous. Shouldn't be more than $400.

I would look into a used Cardas Clear of some kind.

I would stay with Purist. But if you can’t wait for a used one to come up I see AZ Matrix II with latest connectors on USAM

Probably closest in sound to your Purist and potentially even slightly better than the Museaus. These would be great for the source to pre connection.

I would take the acoustic Zen OCC single crystal is far superior to ofc wire.
