Wadia owners - Cables - Which do you own?

I just purchased a Wadia 21, 10/10 less than 50 hours. I have an ARC LS25MII pre, Classe 300 amp, Vandy 3A sig w/2WQ sub. Looking for natural (neutral) cables. Should I go balanced or single ended? PC recommendations?

Let me thank you in advance for your time. I read the forums here and even though I have been into audio for over 30yrs, your responses and info is invaluable. Thanks everyone!

I have owned a few Wadia's, 23, 850, 301, 20,25 and have found the Audioquest Diamond's and Cardas Golden Reference cables to work very well. Balanced is absolutely the way to go.

I was waiting for thread like this. I have recently been experimenting with silver ic's from Wireworld. I am really floored by what these cables can do. Their copper cables are outstanding in my system also. The soundstage is lit up and very detailed while being laidback at the same time.

Balanced cables work best in my system. Have fun!

Well, you will get as many cable recommendations as you get answers, I guess. I am more than happy with the Kimber Select 1130 feeding directly the 27ix's output into the amp.If your system allows balanced throughout you should go balanced!
I also tried Nordost SPM Reference. Much cheaper than the Kimber Select but not as perfect.
Good luck!

I highly recommend FMS "Nexus" line.
Most musical cables, which I ever had.
My system: Wadia 860x, BAT VK75 Se and Kharma Ceramique 2.2

Good luck, Jack

I am using Transparent Reference Balanced cables to connect my ARC Ref 2 MKI (preamp) and Wadia CD 861. It's pretty neutral. Balanced is the way to go for sure.
