Good USED XLR Interconnect Choices for $300-$400?


I am looking for some tips on XLRs to consider (USED)
that are the best-bang-for-the-buck in the $300-$400
range.

I was considering XLRs from:

Analysis Plus Solo Crystal
Purist Audio Aqueous
XLO

I prefer slightly rounded off (Dark/warm) cables that
focus on musicality over detail.

Thanks in advance for your hints/tips/advice !!

Ghstudio,
I somewhat agree with you and respect your inputs. In my experience, the more expen$ive speaker cables the better they delivery. But that concept doesn’t apply to interconnect cables. IMO, IC cables can delivery much stronger unique “souls”, more like personalities, and characters than speaker cables do. Which I may say that more expensive IC doesn’t necessary means “better”.

I have tried Nordost Vahalla, Qualttro Fil, Transparent Reference, Cardas (a loaner and don’t remember model) KimberKable Hero, KK SilverStake, and Krell Cogelco, all have diff unique sound, but the $30 IC Belden LC-1 from www.BlueJeanCable.com surprisingly make me happy the most. Yes, I’m shame to say it but only honest statement can make me feel better.

Note: I like warm, sweet, and romantic sound which all makes sense since none of my other brands have this character.

Tom92602,
Good luck finding yours and don't forget keeping us updated.
Oops, beside warm, sweet, and romantic, I forgot to add elegant to my taste of music. Gotta have that to go with my Sonus Faber.
Note: the Krell Cogelco IC sounds very close to Beldon LC-1 but without elegant characteristic.
