Best brand of cable for B&W N802?


I have been using Purist Audio Design Proteous rev B for 5 years now. I have recently purchased a pair of Transparent Ultra XL and compared them. I found the PAD to be more lively and realistic and the Ultra a little more like a reproduced sound. I am using a Krell AVS and 300S and I am curious if there is anyone that has tried NBS or PS Audio Lab Cables, etc. Please tell me how you selected your cable.

I really appreciate everyones post here but still have not found what I am looking to hear. I have searched in the archives prior to this post and still came away unsure. I was never really familiar with Kimber, and I know someone who tried the Venustus having owned other PAD and had nothing to rave about. I have seen a few interesting coments on Tara that has me thinking on them, but I was also thinking of NBS or PS Audio. I can't beleive no one has tried more combinations with all the N802's out there. Thanks again for all the response.
Has anyone ever tried the NBS line. I hear they are more musical than most anything else and very detailed. I hear it is like a best kept secret and could this be true. I am going to do the cable shootout starting with Proteour and the Ultra XL which is already not my favorite. I am planning on getting a NBS Master III cable to compare soon. I then will sell what some and maybe get some others later on to try, and I will post my findings then. Happy listening :-)
I have now compared my Purist Proteous with Transparent Super & Ultra XL, & NBS Master III. Durring my comparrison I found myself liking them all for their independant characteristics but the Proteous was like a worn glove. I kept liking my return to them with both the interconnect and speaker cable. The NBS would be a great match if you can afford to move up the line like Omega 1, but my wife was the deciding factor in that she only liked the PAD Proteous.
