I would check out either the Silver Ref or Matrix Ref from Acoustic Zen. The silver is twice the money. I use the Silver on a Wadia 860x and I think it blend nicely with the slightly laid back nature of the Wadia player. I have tried a bunch of interconnects and I personally liked the Silver Ref the best.
Best XLR cable for Wadia 850?
I run an Adcom 750 preamp to a Pass A5 into electrostats. I need a short (.5m to 1m) XLR cable from the Wadia into the Adcom. (Yes, I have a long XLR into the amp from the preamp, and have several audio sources, tuner, vinyl so I cannot be purist.) Right now I am using an early Stealth Silver and an Alpha Core TQ1 silver - both have good points. I am thinking either Cardas Golden Reference or Audioquest (all low Z not wierd science,) used of course, but you see the price range. I am using Nordost speaker cable (but a friend is going to let me try some Magnan Sigs for the speakers.) I think that palpability, sweetness and detail are my criteria. Thoughts?
