Balanced Cable recommendations for Ayre equipment

Yes, anti-cables interconnects. I parentheses that in my response.

For the record on an XLR, pin 1 is ground and pins 2 and 3 carry signals.

My experience completely mirrors Stringreen's. I auditioned the MX-Rs in my home on W/P8s with both Cardas GR or Transparent Ref XL or Ref MM cabling and came away thinking the MX-Rs were somewhat arid and not for my system at the time.

I later heard the MX-Rs powering some Vandersteen Quattros through Audioquest Sky cabling with astonishing results, causing me to rethink my initially tepid impression of both the MX-Rs and the Vandys.

Simply proving Audiofeil's point once again, but also seconding Stingreen's recommendation that you try Ayre equipment with cables beyond Cardas/Ayre with Audioquest and Anti-Cable topping the trial list.
