Cable For Esoteric UX-3 Universal Player

I have tried 2 different analog cables for my Esoteric UX-3. The first was a Groneberg cable which I am using throughout my system. The Groneberg seemed to be a bit too warm for my taste with the Esoteric Player. I am now using a MIT AVT1 cable and although it is better, I still don't get enough sparkle in the highs.

I am open to suggestions that will add a little more sparkle to the sound without lightening up the bass. I want to keep the price below 400.00 new and I would hope to find one used for even less money. Although my system has audiophile approved cables and power cords, I believe that after 400.00, the law of diminishing returns takes over. You can view my system below.

I would second the Audience. Even their introductory level cable which no one talks much about at least the IC are called "Conductors" and are a great value. In general you should look for a small diameter conductor which is silver plated copper.
Back when Silver was cheaper, I had a custom silver ?alloy? power cable made for me, just for my sources. It worked out really well. A lot of times people want more fullness and rich warmth from cables, but I can see a source needing to be clean thus the custom silver cable I use. Sorry I don't remember which company it was but it was one of the commonly auctioned cable companys, that you used to see on Agon.
