Budget balanced IC recommendations

Thanks for the input Travis. So far Signal Cable has bested all my current cables(nothing real expensive though).

I have read a lot about how good Pure Note Epsilons are, they are on sale right now, 1m XLR for 335.00, its out of budget but maybe worth it???

Take a look at the Goertz Micropurl balanced, hard to beat for the price

Will do Jeff, Thanks for the info.

Try a run of balanced ''pro'' cable, available at your local music gear store. I recently bought a 15 foot pair of balanced Digiflex microphone cable, just to try it, around $40 Canadian. It's still in my system, and isn't coming out. Sounds GREAT, neutral top to bottom. Replaced a pair of AZ WOW's, don't miss them at all. Admittedly, I was surprised....
Might work for you, who knows ? The investment is small enough to take the chance.
Good Luck,
Mike

Neutral? Cardas Neutral Reference are famous for it. And Stereophile says they sound better than their twice the price Golden Reference. I have a 1m pair of NR XLR in like new condition listed on an audio web site, and Half.com, for $200 ($500 new).

Neutral IS where its at. They are my perferred cable all round. Except speaker. But only because I got my hands on a pair of AQ (all silver) Dragons. Whew. They sound like you connected the speakers directly to the amp, or something like that. But I could never pay 'normal' price for them(new $2500-2800).
