Since my Dynamight DIY project is nearly finished, I'm starting to search for the ultimate low-cost balanced interconnect for this amplifier.
My candidates are listed below. I would welcome any idea or recommendation. If you suggest any other cable, please keep the budget down, no more than $100.
The cable should be neutral and smooth, maybe little on the warm side (I hate bright and sibilant presentation). I would gladly retain the signature of Audiogeek Nitrogens. The cable is intended for the system listed in my signature. I would rather take a design employed by professionals (recording studios, etc.) than some unknown esoteric "high-end" product.
My current favorites are Mogami and Blue Jeans Cable. I would take Mogami, but the shortest length is 3 feet, which is still too long, ideal would be 2 feet.
