Long XLR recommendations


Hi all, due to a wifely requirement I have to run balanced interconnects about ~30 feet.  These will go between a BAT VK-3ix and Liberty Audio B2B-100s running mono.  Ready made cables would be prohibitively expensive for an approx. 10m run so I'm looking at DIY. 

I've previously tried Mogami and Canare but haven't been too impressed, they both seemed a bit dull and lacking inner detail.  I've built several cables using Furez FZ162AA that I liked better than the Mogami/Canare but, of course, I'm looking for something better.

Trying to keep costs below $10/ft rules out a lot of cables but i don't want to break the bank.  I've been looking at Neotech NEI-3004 and DH Labs BL-1.  Would either of these be "better" to the Furez cable?  If you think there is other cable that I've forgotten please chime in.  

I plan to use DH Labs XLR connectors for these cables.  Are there other affordable XLRs that use copped conductors?

Thanks in advance for the recommendations and opinions.

@tko956 I heard 3001 in my system between phono amp and line stage. It was terminated with the very nice Neotech gold plated RCA connectors. It’s a fine sounding cable and I would take it over Mogami any day. But if you go cheap on connectors, you might get a different sounding cable and you won’t be happy.

I love the Benchmark XLR cables. They sound good and are tough. Unlike a delicate flower cable brand that I spent a lot of money on and have the cable repeatedly failing.

I have had Liberty audio gears ( preamp and Power amp). Very good gears. I asked Peter for an XLR between and i received the gears with  Harmony Technologie Precision . It was very good and better than a Organic audio XLR.

i still have the Harmonic Technologie between my Pbn audio LXIS and EBSA -1. 
 

just my 2 cents

I personally use EBXYA, it's enough for me to support my daily work, and it's cheap enough for you to try.
