Best Interconnects

I recently put a preamp into my system instead of feeding my Wadia 781i directly into my power amps. Which by the way was a significant improvement. I am now looking for the best interconnect between my Wadia and my SMC-VRE 1 preamp. I am considering Stealth Sakra, Cardas Clear, Kubala Sosna Elation, Tara Labs Zero Gold. Preamp to power amp is Tara Labs Zero Onyx. It is very difficult to evaluate all these cables especially over extended break in periods. Does anyone have experience with several of these cables or similar. Your advice and input would be highly appreciated.

Best Regards

One of my customers has replaced KS Emotion and Elation ICs with Teo Audio Standard series and ordered a pair of the new Reference series speaker cables to replace Elation SCs... The Standard ICs and SCs have beat pretty much everything mentioned in this thread, while the Reference is just freaky insane; it's over in five seconds.

Essentialaudio,
Thanks for your input, I had never heard of these cables but they definitely sound interesting. I read on their website that they wanted to create a cable that would outperform Tara Labs Zero, and they did. That's a fine recommendation at a good price too.
