Budget balanced IC recommendations


Bryston Sp1.7 to Bryston 4B-ST.

My preference is nuetral sound. No added warmth or brightness. Up to $200 but prefer around $100 used.

I have used Signal Cables SE ICs and found them great for the money($49.00). I am seriously considering these, only balanced. But before I do, I thought it wise to let my fellow A'goners bestow their wisdom upon me.

any and all comments welcome.

Neutral? Cardas Neutral Reference are famous for it. And Stereophile says they sound better than their twice the price Golden Reference. I have a 1m pair of NR XLR in like new condition listed on an audio web site, and Half.com, for $200 ($500 new).

Neutral IS where its at. They are my perferred cable all round. Except speaker. But only because I got my hands on a pair of AQ (all silver) Dragons. Whew. They sound like you connected the speakers directly to the amp, or something like that. But I could never pay 'normal' price for them(new $2500-2800).
