Potential replacement for AZ Absolute


Some time ago, I sold my old Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper analog interconnects due to necessary of migration to balanced connection. At first I was going just to get the same AZ (which actually satisfied me), but it seems that maximalist in me will not allow that easily. So now I’m searching for the greater performance in the budget about $1K (for new or used). Maybe someone has a clue for me?
Looking for something suchlike universal and neutral, with rich and full bodied signature, open and holographic sound staging. Now thinking about Ocellia Reference or maybe balanced Hight Fidelity Cables (if basic model appears on aftermarket someday).

denon1, thank you for the first answer! I've heard many good about Fusion Audio Romance 2 and their outstanding musicality, but I was afraid they would be way too relaxed. Maybe now I should consider them better. On the other hand, I've also I have read a number of compliments to Ocellia, so don't even know who of them is worth more attention.
Is really wasn’t opened any better alternative for Absolure Copper for the past three years, ever since I bought my? No one answer!
jmcgrogan2, thanks for the reply. I like High Fidelity Cables, but unfortunately, XLR models now starting from $4480 and don't think I can get it soon for 1/4 of this price. So now I'm looking for other interesting possibilities.

mcgal, I thought about this option, but since I'm living in a different country I have decided that to sell old cable and next purchase a new one will be simpler in my case. Besides, now I can look for something else, Absolute Silver for example, which can be a little better with my tube amp.
