Cables advice for ARC + Mark Levinson + Wilson


Hi all,
My system:
Pre: ARC Ref. 3
Power: ML 33H
Speakers: Wilson W/P 7

I am tuning the system with new interconnect cables.
I have used MIT Magnum MA XLR between the Pre and the Power amplifier but the result was a lean sound without dynamics and without bass. I would say that the cable has produced a too dry sound.

So I tryed Transparent ULTRA RCA that I got in house and I got much better bass and dynamics.

So, considering that I will discard the MITs, what the best cable for this setup on the surce-pre and pre-amp interconnection?

I'm considering:
- Transparent Reference
- XLO Signature
- others...

I had a similar system of a ARC Ref 5, Krell Evo 403e (Also had ML 433) and Wilson Sasha W/P.

I used Transparent Ref XL, and the sound was never thin nor lean, I would suggest the Ref or Ref XL if you can swing it, and do try to get the MM2 tech models as they are substantially more open than the older models.
