Suggestion on XLR Cables

I’m looking for a suggestion on reasonably price high-end XLR cables. By reasonable I mean <=$1k. I prefer pre-owned cables because I hate paying retail, especially for cables.

The rest of the system is

PS Audio DMP Transport
PS Audio DSD Dac
NAT Audio Magnetic Preamp
PS Audio BHK Stereo Amp
Wilson Audio Duettes
Synergistic Powercell 10 UEF Conditioner
Acoustic Revive RTP-2 Power Distributor
(2) Acoustic Revive R-777
3 Furutech Flux 50 Power Filters
Various Furutech Power Cables
Dueland XLR interconnects
Acoustic Revive Speaker Cable

Most of what I listen to is Jazz, Vocalists (Diana Krall, Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald) or Pop/Rock (Eagles, James Taylor). Occasionally classical but then mostly solo piano.

Thanks in advance.

Livewire is a brand sold at Guitar Center, an "economy" version of Mogami and Canare. Really, really cheap.

I've been using a pair of Cerious Technologies XLR cables for a while now and am happy with their performance. Won't break the bank either. Extensive thread on these at the gon.

https://btpa.com/IC8402XLR-XX.html. Best sound I have found in an interconnect. They will make them with RCA using the same Belden cable also. I sold all my high price name brand wires and went to the Belden 8402 for ever interconnect.

agree on the Cerious Graphene, as well as the previous Cerious Nano which can often be very inexpensive...
