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?

HI IVAN! I OWNED AN 850 AND USED THE CARDAS GOLDEN REF ANS THE AUDIOTHRUTH DIAMOND. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU NEED.IF YOU WANT WARMTH AND WEIGHT GO CARDAS,IF YOU WANT AIR AND RESOLUTION AND TOP END,GO AUDIOQUEST.
P.S. I ALSO WOULD CONSIDER THE NEUTRAL REF FROM CARDAS.
HOPE THIS HELPS,ORLANDO.
