Harmonic Technology Melody Line 's are great with mine. Much better in direct comparison with Transparent and Cardas. I think HT is coming out with an even more affordable cable, check the show report on the ongoing CES at soundstage. The DH Labs is also an affordable and logical choice. With the Kestrel you want a cable that is transparent and lets a lot of detail through with goo bass control, nothing warm or muddy. Have Fun.
