Upgrade to balanced XLR interconnects?


I currently have monster m1000 interconnects (25 ft.) running from preamp (Audio Research LS16) to amp (Audio Research D400). I am thinking of upgrading to balanced interconnects. I know the upgrade will be expensive.

Would it be worth the cost to upgrade. Any suggestions on what interconnect to go with (reasonably priced<$500).

Thanks

Your observation about a rolled off top end with the transparent ultra interconnect may be true for your system and room. However, I have to disagree with the generalization of your experience. I am using a 15 ft balanced Transparent Ultra XL interconnect between my ARC LS25 and ARC VT100 MKII with excellent results. The sound is extended and natural in the treble region. It is most definitely not rolled off.
