Balanced Cable recommendations for Ayre equipment


I have an Ayre 7xe, K-5xe , V-5xe and Revel F52 speakers currently with Kimber Cable Hero interconnects and 8TC speaker wire. I want to switch to balanced interconnects - please provide some advice - do not want to spend more than $750 per pair.

I have an all Ayre system, and have tried many, many cables...all balance, because balanced is the ONLY way any Ayre component can do its work the best. Oddly, the worst cables are the Ayre and Cardas designs, the best being the Audioquest Sky series and the Anti-Cables. These 2 cables sound very, very similar using Ayre. The cost differential dictated my use of Anti-Cables. They transformed my system.
Everyone you ask about the efficacy of Cardas/Ayre cables with Ayre electronics will tell you that they were designed for each other. I am here to tell you that if you use Ayre components, (I have Ayre V1xe, K1xe, and C5xe), there are far better alternatives.
..and if you want the best power cords, make them from Oyaide C-046, P-046, and Accrolink P-4030. Your jaw will drop.
