Pro audio shops will make up cables to your order from excellent materials at a reasonable price. In my best system, I use balanced cables made by ProAudioLA from Mogami W2549 and gold-plated Neutrik connections. I think a 25’ pair, some years ago, was about US$100.
In single-blind tests, a number of experienced listeners (including a composer and an audio designer) found the cables notably less colored than some $2200 cables from a boutique brand that I was evaluating.
(The Mogami cable is similar in quality to the Canare recommended by another poster. Both are widely used in the commercial recording and broadcasting industries.)
