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,
Maybe that's why so many CDs sound like crap. There's a lot more that sound like crap than sound excellent that's for sure.
It's a shame that audiophiles care more about sound than the people who record the music. Fortunately, there are those who do care (and they do pay attention to cables) and produce fine recordings.
As far as high quality audio amps, Crown...? I haven't seen an audiophile use one of those since the early 70s. Are we in the same era?

IMO: Using your logic, there would be little reason for audiophile equipment to exist.

At the same time, I will admit that some equipment has surpassed the quality of some source material. It's obvious that traditional source paradigms are in the process of shifting. It seems that all the technologies are no longer in sync. Not only that, traditional business model paradigms are also wacko.

It certainly is an interesting time. Sometimes I wonder if symbiosis will ever be achieved again.

Off the original subject, for that I apologize.
