Suggestion on XLR Cables

I’m looking for a suggestion on reasonably price high-end XLR cables. By reasonable I mean <=$1k. I prefer pre-owned cables because I hate paying retail, especially for cables.

The rest of the system is

PS Audio DMP Transport
PS Audio DSD Dac
NAT Audio Magnetic Preamp
PS Audio BHK Stereo Amp
Wilson Audio Duettes
Synergistic Powercell 10 UEF Conditioner
Acoustic Revive RTP-2 Power Distributor
(2) Acoustic Revive R-777
3 Furutech Flux 50 Power Filters
Various Furutech Power Cables
Dueland XLR interconnects
Acoustic Revive Speaker Cable

Most of what I listen to is Jazz, Vocalists (Diana Krall, Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald) or Pop/Rock (Eagles, James Taylor). Occasionally classical but then mostly solo piano.

Thanks in advance.

Mogami Gold is about the same as Canare. Both are standard cables in pro recording studios.

Go to this pro audio site   https://www.markertek.com.

You will find Canare and Mogami Pro XLR cables.

Cheap and SOTA..... IMO.

All you need.

I  live in Mpls MN and just visited Paisley Park studio last weekend . It was quite the experience getting to see studio a, b and c . Lots of cables hanging on a wall in one of the studios . They were a brand i have not heard of , Livewire . Also many without the brands name on them .

If you are willing to experiment read my thread regarding Tchernov cables.
And forget all this pro junk, they use them because they want to save a lot, that's all. Ralph, at least at times, uses Purist Audio cables for shows, no matter how much he might talk about Mogami. He is doing business here not socializing for the sake of it.
