Interconnects for Pass Labs X260.8


What balanced interconnects are you using with your X260.8 or X350.8?

Looking to potentially move on from my Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper XLRs. While they worked wonderfully with lower power amps I had with their plump bass, including the XA30.8, I find them (suspicion at this point) to be too much of a good thing with the X260.8.
What ICs would have the same natural tone but have better clarity and faster bass?

Gear (in my profile as well):

Bricasti M3, Wilson Sabrina, Pass XP22 preamp, X260.8 amps, Audience AU24SX speaker cables. Amps plugged into outlet on a 20A dedicated circuit.

Thanks in advance!

@soix that price is not right. Anyway…thanks! 
I’ll get the pins from Pass this week and try the RCAs. 

Putting a list of candidates to borrow from the cable co. 

I agree that price is ridiculous, but it might be worth offering $500 and see what happens cause he ain’t selling those ICs for more than $600.  No way no how and he’ll just eat them at his asking price.  Might be worth a shot.  Look forward to hearing your thoughts either way.  I find the Silver Refs to sound nicely detailed with tight bass yet still possessing natural tonality, especially for silver ICs.  That’s a signature trait of all the AZ cables I have IMHO.

I use Transparent Audio Super + between my Pass 250.8 and Sasha 2, sounds great, a nice upgrade over Audioquest I had previously. 

OP,

 

I would describe Transparent’s sound as transparent… I am serious. Over the last fifty years of my pursuit of the high end, in the beginning I needed really warm Cardas because my electronics were harsh and noisy (cheap to mid-level audiophile). Then as I acquired better sounding equipment Transparent became the very best wires. I have all Audio Research equipment now and with the exception of the power cord for my amp, all are contemporary Transparent Ultra. If you want the sound of your components to come through, this is the right product. If your components are not up to the standards you wish… then Cardas.
