High Quality Interconnects for Luxman L-590AXII

I would like to seek experiences from current owners of the Luxman L-590AXII (or other Luxman models). Have you tried different interconnects particularly the balanced XLR versions and heard a profound difference with the cables? I only compared a $1,500 balanced XLR to a $500 single-ended RCA and so far the balanced XLR sounded superior. I believe the balanced connection of the Luxman is capable of producing better results when compared to single-ended.

Has anyone compared different balanced interconnects on the Luxman and noticed a difference in sound quality between the cables?

I have a Luxman 509x.  Tomorrow I plan on some A/B tests using Nordost Red Dawn and Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II.  Both are XLR, I'll report back when I'm done with the test.

Thanks for this. I would be looking forward to your report with great anticipation. I have owned the Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II XLR many years ago but it didn't last very long in my system during that time.
