XLR cable recommendations needed


Hi,

I would like to purchase 2 pairs of xlr interconnects but would like them to be silver plated occ copper with good connectors.  Budget is $200-$500 per pair but would like to stay on the lower end.  They must be silver plated occ copper and from a reputable manufacturer.  They will be used from source to preamp and preamp to amp in a hybrid 2 channel and surround sound system which share main front speakers.

I was using some older low cost ZY silver plated xlr cables that were an Amazon special about 10 years ago and they sounded okay and were built decent but Im looking to upgrade.  I recently made a mistake of buying an ofc copper only cables without silver plating and although the build quality is very good, they arent doing it for me.  Low and mids are good on these cables but the high end is extremely lacking.  I will break them in some and keep them for other applications but know I will need to upgrade to something better.  

Please provide me some recommendations on good sounding cables that are silver plated occ copper with good connectors.  Thanks in advance.

Thanks for everyone’s input. Ive settled on trying some pure occ silver cables. These will be my first all silver cables so it will be a learning experience.
