Bal. Cables for Wadia S7i CD player?


I'm in the process of purchasing a Wadia S7i CDP. I need to run 2 meters to my Bryston 7Bst's (I'm running direct). Looking for suggestions for Interconnects that work well. (Don't want to have to sell the house to get good cables)
Also has anyone compared unbalanced to balance since I already have good unbalanced.
Thanks for your input!!

Some equipment sounds better balanced...there are a few where (possibly because the balanced is not true balanced)...the SE sounds similar or better.

You've got a great CD player...great. If you're using Wadia direct to amp...if you can avoid it, dont skimp here. Wadia is a very natural but also very precise sound, and so is Bryston as you already know. Getting the right cables could be the difference between magic and stiff/sterile.

I like Transparent Reference cables...older, second pre-MM1 are great imho. Depends on your taste of course. The opposite of these at a comparble quality level would probably be Valhalla. My gut tells me balanced given the Bryston and even the Wadia. Good luck. One man's opinion.
Hi 2bz...i am a big, big TA fan...if you like detail over warmth and are looking at Super or Ultra...i think you might honestly prefer to try a few other cable options in addition to TA. Particularly, if a truly illuminated treble is important for you (as with all of us as we get older) given your own hearing.

I would have to give it some thought, but i feel like i have heard other cables in comparison which had more treble clarity...the question is can i remember the ones in the price range. I could easily name Valhalla, but that is more expensive.

By all means, try the TA Super and Ultra (I prefer older Ref btw)...but perhaps Valhalla second-hand, might offer more articulated highs than Ultra.
