Which balanced IC between pre amp and power amp?


Hello all,
looking for some rec’s For a balanced interconnect between my B&K pre amp and power amp. B&K CS 117 to a B&K 125.2 reference. Second system so not looking to drop a ton of cash. New to the balanced world so any help is appreciated. So far I’ve read good stuff on Silnote, cardas neutral reference, Cardas cross, AQ, morrow, or signal cable
thanks in advance

@stringreen ,
+1, you beat me to it.

I know AtmaSphere, Ralph Karsten, believes that differences in  balanced cables brands will be minimized IF the equipment follows the balanced protocol (AES 47). And, just because equipment has balanced input/outputs doesn't necessarily mean it follows that protocol, so best to check first with the manufacturer.

I use Ralph's interconnects (25 feet) in my system and short speaker cables (6 feet) as speaker cables will impart more coloration than balanced interconnects.
