Cable advice needed

Hi Audiogon Community:
I'm switching out my rca cables for xlr. Which IC's do you recommend going from CD Player to Preamp and Preamp to Amp.

The  IC's xlr I own are:
Purist Audio Design Venustas Praesto Rev &
Purist Audio Design Proteus Rev A

My system :
Ayre Acoustics CX-7eMP
Belles Aria preamp
Maker Audio G7 Amp
Tyler Dx2 speakers

Thanx so much for your advice

I'll never understand Ayre's affinity for Cardas. I found the Ayre/Cardas cables to rob the life from the music, negating the strengths of Ayre equipment.  

fdavis, I think you already have some very fine XLR cables in the Purist. Try them before going further. Bettering those is gonna cost a lot..

Are you asking where should the better cable go? If so, Audioquest told me to put the better cable from my source to preamp.

If you want a more organic sound without losing detail, the Teo Game Changer ICs are very good--should be very nice with the Tyler speakers.

I purchased the Snake River Audio Signature Series Mamushi Interconnect XLR cables (purchased pre-owned) and like them very much.  Please see:

Please see their demo/used link for reduced pricing.

The OP isn’t asking for cable suggestions , he is asking with the cables he has, what cable should go from preamp to CD player and preamp to amp.
