XLR cable with warmth without losing resolution

Would like to keep it under $1000ish a metre. 
Not sure if warmth and resolution are considered oxymorons, but I mean I wouldn’t like to lose information but the cable to have a warm tonal signature.

Purist Neptune seems to be a front runner but is pricey , any alternatives or any one with experience on Neptune who can advice?

In my system I sue WW Series 7 XLRs , power cords, and speaker cables. Whether the music is poorly mastered or wonderfully so, either comes through clearly

Use what recording studios use...Belden, Canare,  Mogami.  An astute studio owner has enough to deal with without having to buy 1K per meter balanced cable.

What if you don’t like the recordings from the studios that use those brands? Are they the same studios that have been compressing the life out of the music? One wonders what Mercury and RCA used to record music back in the Golden, Age 50s and 60s. What brand of cables did Pink Floyd use in the studio? Or what they used at Abbey Road.
