Best budget $300 Balanced IC Recommendation

I have a Cambridge Azure 840C with both Balanced and SE outputs. I have been using Kimber KS1021's with Black Pearl silver and copper stranding. Anyway, I wanted to try the balanced connect and ordered a pro cable for about $20. I could not believe the results! The pro XLR cable sounded almost as good as the Kimber and it's not even broken in! This tells me balanced is the way to go. I'll probably sell the Kimber's to finance the purchase or trade for a balanced IC. Looking for some help and suggestions - thanks!

Catastrofe, can you shed a little more light on "Grover Huffman"? Any additional info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

It's sad when $300 for IC is considered "budget".

Save your $$$ and try some Mogami....available at Guitar Center.

I use the 'Gold' in 6' length. Terrific cable. This is from the Microphone line.....

PS:: I have the CA 840c.......good match.

Mogami is what I use with or without my Atma-Sphere amp. Their RCA cable are very good too. For XLR you do want the Studio Gold Neglex Quad.

I have used Grover Huffman cables as well and they are also very good. Cost more than Mogami, but use ribbon conductors instead of stranded. They come with a generous trial period so you have nothing to lose but time and postage in giving them an audition.
