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.

agree on the Cerious Graphene, as well as the previous Cerious Nano which can often be very inexpensive...

Canare Star Quad L-4E6S is the best you can find, much less than 1K.

I think this is cause for celebration, as it would appear you and I can actually *agree* on something :)

It is also ok to disagree. I respect differing views. Your points are always valid and presented logically - unlike some of the more crazy assertions made around here (mostly by Geoff 🤪 but I still enjoy many of his comments)

Do you find the Canare Star Quad L-4E6S has a consistent sonic characteristic?  e.g., ., full bodied and warm vs lean and neutral?  I don't have an opinion having never used this IC so looking to your experience with it.  

Thanks.

I found the Tchernov site but it looks like they might be Europe only.
