High Quality XLR IC's For My System

The last step of my year long upgrade process is complete except for the two 1m XLR IC’s I use to connect my phono preamp to my preamp and my SACD player to my preamp. Using Audioquest Californias now.



I am simply looking to upgrade the XLR IC’s. Budget is $1200

I would prefer to buy used but not necessarily; Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

@teeshot ,
If you are referring to me, then I would ask that you PM Ralph Karsten (Atmasphere). He can provide the details.
In a nutshell, if equipment supports the balanced standard (AES47), then any cable should perform as good as any other. That is why the standard was established.

@stringreen ,
It seems we are preaching to the choir. Though I do believe cables do make a difference, XLR cables utilized in properly designed balanced equipment do not.
