XLR interconnect for new DAC/pre-amp to power amp--suggestions please for $500 or less

@mtrot Those are Canadian dollars, and if you check the website, they are almost always running a 10-12% sale.  Conversion rate brings the cost way down.

I 2nd the  Mogami's and use the extra cash elsewhere. You at least owe it to yourself to test the Mogami up against anything else you're considering

@ stringreen, et. al.,

So, I got my Stellar Gain DAC/pre-amp set up, with the Silnote Morpheus Reference Classic XLR interconnects going to my Krell power amp.  I'm playing CDs on my Oppo UDP-203 universal disc player, using the coaxial output into the Stellar Gain. 

So far, the setup sounds decent, but not as open and clear as I hoped.  Not as much soundstage depth, not as much bass definition/extension as I hoped. 

Maybe I've just gotten used to and spoiled by my High Fidelity CT-1 interconnects that up until now I have been listening to, with them running directly from my AVR directly into my power amp.  Man, those things are nice.  I was hoping not to have to spend $1,500 to maintain the sound quality I'm used to.  I'm now thinking about trying a set of Wireworld Silver Eclipse 7 interconnects. 

I made a pair of XLR using Mogami 2549 and couldn’t be more happier.

You can find a pair already made on eBay for cheap worth a try.

Go for the WireWorld Silver Eclipse 7 IC and add the matching power cord (PC). It is a killer.  Happy Listening!
