Interconnect Cables for Pre-and Power amp

Hi, I’m searching for a pair of interconnect cables connection my pre-amp (Ayre K-1xe) and power-amps (Pass Labs XA30.5) – both Solid State. FYI, the speakers are a pair of Harbeth C7-es3.

Preferably, I’d get the Balanced interconnect cables to get the full potentials of these amps. What would you recommend for mid-end/used cables (brands, models, etc)? What’s the typical lengths of the cables – 1.5m or 2m?

My choices of music are mostly vocals, jazz, pop songs, symphony, chamber and some blues and rock(no heavy metal or other modern music types). I look for cables that deliver extended highs, natural/full-body mid-range and dynamic bass with excellent imaging and soundstages.

Thank you for your recommendations.

Bo1972,
My impression of high quality silver cable is the same as yours.Better resolution,openness and transpaency with improved tone,articulation and smoothness. Brightness and glare are non issues.I fine silver more truthful,natural and less colored than copper cables.

Zd542,No arguement there,results will most certainly vary from one person and system to another.I`ve just discovered that the better my system has become over the years the better silver sounds.

Syntax,
You describe the effect of silver well.Silver is only revealing the character of the system`s components.A good quality silver cable isn`t "adding" any glare,harshness,thiness,brightness etc.
