RCA Interconnect recommendations

I'm looking for a new set of interconnects and need recommendations.  I'm running a Rega P3 (with Exact and Neo PSU) and a Sonic Frontiers SFL-1.  In between, I will be adding a Darlington MM7B, which is on order.  I was using an old pair of Cardas Ultralink 5C interconnects but find them a bit muddled.  I also have a pair of Audioquest Red River interconnects and they're very bright.  Any suggestions for something that's musical, clear and detailed, with good bass response?

If the NORDOST FREYs don't stir your drink, then consider staying with CARDAS BUT with a move up higher in the CARDAS model line ( Think CARDAS CLEAR REFLECTION or better) 

Be aware that the Ag-over-Cu NORDOST  cables can be brighter than the all-Cu CARDAS options. 

live had/have both. … it’s entirely system dependent which path you follow

Good logic since both the Cardas and the SFL-1 have a "kind" presentation.  Also, the 12AT7 or CV4024 can have lost their sparkle.  Tube rolling could be worth a shot. The new phono pre may have a voice in this too.  Have fun!

What’s your budget, and are you looking for new or used?
