XLR recomendation

I’m looking for a recommendation XLR between my DAVE (with M Scaler) and Pathos Heritage MKii hybrid integrated. My speakers are Tannoy Kensington GRs  

I’d like to spend no more than $2K new or used. Currently running SR Element Copper unbalanced.  
Happy Thanksgiving all.

What specific improvements are you looking for over the Element Copper ICs?

@soix My DAVE right XLR channel is burnt so I’m using RCA for now. Sold my only decent Transparent Ref XLR and need another.  Transparent was fine.  Most of my cables are Transparent.  Just looking for alternative suggestions.   Thx

Just a heads up, I also have a Dave and the XLR sockets are quite small so I recommend you try before buying to make sure they fit.

I'm using some AudioQuest XLR's (I believe all of theirs are the same size) that are not small enough for the socket and only make contact with the tips of the plug.

Try Acoustic Zen absolute copper. A used pair can be had for under 2K.
