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?

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.

A third vote for Audio Envy. Small proprietor with excellent customer service and he actually has a recording studio that allows him to test his products during live recording sessions. His impetuous was trying to find IC's that retained the sound of the original, live music after recording it. Existing cables fell short, so he created his own. They are very accurate and natural sounding. I've compared them directly to AQ and Transparent in my systems and I like them, so much so that I changed all my cables to Audio Envy. Captain, yes that is his name, is on to something special.
Cheers
