Hi Tom,
I have heard your particular system (Arc Ls2 MKII, ARC d300). Usually, Arc amps are very detail, fast, and color of timbre is little bit white. Your choice of Cardas Golden Ref and Golden Cross is a good choise. Between the
two I liked GR than GC, GC is more bloomy but slower sounding than GR, which is more accurate, revealing, but still has enough bloom and lush sounding in the midrange. If you want to go cheap around $300, then check out Audio
Analysis copper Oval or Coincident CST interconnects, both are very good. As far as Bear Lab, it is a silver cable but very accurate and neutral, so it might show weekness in your system, still you can try out for 30 days trial period from Bear Lab direct. I use BL from source to pre than
to power amp. I hope these informations will help you to get the right cable for your system, main thing is system matching from top to bottom. Good luck, and let me know which cable you finally decide to keep.
Regards,
Manzoor.
