XLR recomendation

I’m looking for a recommendation XLR between my DAVE (with M Scaler) and Pathos Heritage MKii hybrid integrated. My speakers are Tannoy Kensington GRs  

I’d like to spend no more than $2K new or used. Currently running SR Element Copper unbalanced.  
Happy Thanksgiving all.

Just a heads up, I also have a Dave and the XLR sockets are quite small so I recommend you try before buying to make sure they fit.

I'm using some AudioQuest XLR's (I believe all of theirs are the same size) that are not small enough for the socket and only make contact with the tips of the plug.

Try Acoustic Zen absolute copper. A used pair can be had for under 2K.

I have been down the cable rabbit hole. After years &💵💵 spent. I purchase used so broken in already and more cost effective. I settled on Acoustic Zen Absolute cables. Never looked back, can’t go wrong. Cables and gear are system dependent as to sound .But driven by reviewers & magazines in past. Noe internet and lots more people involved in opinions.   AZen, Cardas, and such and stay away from crazy high  priced cables.
