High Quality XLR IC's For My System


The last step of my year long upgrade process is complete except for the two 1m XLR IC’s I use to connect my phono preamp to my preamp and my SACD player to my preamp. Using Audioquest Californias now.



I am simply looking to upgrade the XLR IC’s. Budget is $1200

I would prefer to buy used but not necessarily; Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

@teeshot ,
If you are referring to me, then I would ask that you PM Ralph Karsten (Atmasphere). He can provide the details.
In a nutshell, if equipment supports the balanced standard (AES47), then any cable should perform as good as any other. That is why the standard was established.

There’s a pair of AZ Silver Ref ll and Silver Ref l 1m XLR interconnects available here now, and you could get both for $1050.  These are very neutral yet organic and holographic interconnects and tough to see you being disappointed.  AZ market is very liquid so you can sell them easily if they don’t work out, so I’d strongly consider jumping on them.   
Long time lurker on these threads now looking to upgrade my interconnects and am interested in the AudioEnvy's. 
Has anyone compared this to Iconoclastic interconnects or even the older  Audiosmith Palladiums? These 3 brands are generating alot of buzz for their innovation and price point.
