Looking for a "dark" sounding xlr ic....?

I've tried a few XLR cables between my Benchmark DAC1 and BAT preamp. One that did not show any signs of brightness in my system was the Pure Note Cerulean. I wouldn't call it "dark" though. Very natural and listenable. I'm still undecided long term between the Cerulean and a Cardas Golden Reference.

Thanks for the responses. I didn't know the eci-3se had a rep for being "dark and rich". It doesn't come across that way in replacing a MFA Magus pre and OCM Belles amp. I'll look into Cardas and RSA cables.
