Best cables for Jadis DA88 Signature amplifier

Hello,
after having Audio Research gear for over 8 years I jumped into Jadis bandwagon.

It is a little of experiment because I just sold two box ARC amplifier (LS25MKII preamp and VT100MKII power amp and switched to integrated Jadis (DA88S).

It may seems curious and look as step back, but I was a little tired of ARC sound. However ARC has its own strengthens as very well controlled bass and great soundstage it is also little less musical and involving compared to Jadis.

DA88S is a little slover and fat in bass, but it is also much more musical to my taste.

I have question what speaker cables will be the best ith this particular amp. I have Thiel speakers and MIT Oracle V4 speaker calbes.

Both Jadis and MIT are a little rolled off treble so it is not a good match in my taste.

I checked also Kimber selects 3035 (hybrid calbes).
I found top is more sparkling with Kimbers, but lacked a tight bass control of the Mit Oracle.

On my short list are:
Kubala-Sosna Emotion
Kimber Select all silver 3036
Purist Audio Design (Venustas maybe?)
Siltech the cheapest from Signature series
MIT Oracle V3.2
Jadis JD-1

Any suggestions will be warm welcome

During my Jadis years I used XLO and Purist.

I like the Kimbers myself but they should be auditioned with their Select ICs of same or better composition.

I have used Purist, Siltech and now Kubala Sosna Emotion with my Jadis equipment with excellent results.

Ive owned Jadis since 1995 when I walked into Brooks Berdans shop in Pasadena CA..Both monos and the famous Defy7..I wanted a quicker cable so right now im using Virtual Dynamics with great success...enjoy the Jadis,I think in the longer haul you will find it much more musical than the ARC gear.
