interconnect choice

adg101, Yes I have a email into Dan. I love his stuff. He is a great person to deal with as well. Hard to believe the DIDs make that much difference. True that the LS100 is only am XLR connector and not true balance but I guess I should go XLR as long as both pieces have the mates. I need 5m (16-17ft?).

Morrow Audio has excellent IC's at several price ranges.  Also, Grover Huffman makes some excellent IC's that are beautifully constructed.  I am one who thinks the "law of diminishing returns" is applicable to audio cables, so if you decide to buy a pricey pair, make sure you get a money-back guaranty if you don't fancy them.  

+1 on the Morrow. The best interconnects I've owned. I tried quite a few others and am very happy now.

I second passet02, Purist Audio Design makes excellent sounding cables.

Hmm  decisions: Synergistic Research Resolution Reference Interconnects or Cardas Neutral reference?
