Best interconnects for AYRE gear ?

Looking for the "perfect" match for my Ayre pre-/ power combo. Currently use unbalanced Acoustic Zen Silver Ref. II interconnects which I will replace quite soon with a balanced design - but which ? Any suggestions in the range US $ 1.500,00 - 2.000,00 (for a stereo meter) ??

Ayre recommends Cardas cable and the Golden Reference is a good one.
I personally use Audioquest Cheetah with the upgraded 72v DBS. I have found this cable to add less to the overall sound than any cable I have tried. It seems to work well with any type of music and presents a very neutral presentation.
Other cables I have tried seem to add something to the sound. It really boils down to personal preferences. You will probably receive numerous answers which tells you there are no answers to this one.

Hi Frankpiet,

I would recommend Purist Audio Design. I am using Venustas, and they are the best interconnects that I have tried.

Good luck,

Mark

I am using Cardas Golden Reference on my C5xe and I beleive that Ayre does use a lot of Cardas on internal wiring. I know they offer the Myrtle Blocks same as Cardas only with the Ayre logo. There seems to be a connection there between the two companies. What ever it is, it is a good combo.
