Recommendations for Balanced Interconnect...

I'm looking for a balanced interconnect to run between my Electrocompaniet EC-1up CD player and my preamp, which is currently a BAT VK30 (soon to be an Aesthetix Janus). Both preamps run in both balanced and single-ended modes. Want to make the most of the pre! Price range: used, no more than $300. Sonics desired: detailed but somewhat warm, definitely not aggressive.

Amps currently in use include Odysee Stratos Dual Mono and Quicksilver "Triode" monoblocks. Speakers include Proac 2.5's and Quad 988's. System not yet locked in on either account. Thanks for good advise!!!

Well, I have a pair of Musiclink Plus MM's and a pair of XLO Signature 2's coming. I'll try them out with my current setup, and when I get the Aesthetix, and provide some feedback here. Thanks all for your suggestions.

Go with Virtual Dynamics, they will change your whole system! Soundstage, detail, bass, mids, highs, unreal sounding cables! I have tried a more cables than I can remember, and nothing sounded as good as these. If you can afford the "Nite" series you will never look for another cable!

Magnan Vi is a great cable, it goes with almost any CD to Pre. I am looking for a signiture series, anyone got one to spare ( XLR type )

Not sure on its current price, but try out Audioquest balanced Diamond interconnect.

I can second Auaarons recommendation of Transparents Super Balanced XL. I just put in a lenghty run from my ARC ls15 to my Plinius SA 100Mkll and what a stunning difference over my MIT rca cable..Big time bass and soundstage, smooth mids and highs.
