Looking for feedback on balanced cables to connect my 501/C200/MVP851 combo. I just want some sensible cables that sound good with no attached batterys or other gimmicks. What is the best value for the $$?

No snake oil, no ferrite slugs, just pure OFC and a bit of silver free solder these ICs are neautral and have a money back if not satisfied. Priced very reasonable and you can DIY if you want to. I made my own pair and like them mucho.
I like Canare or a new one Ethereal. They are both very good and under $20.00 per cable. As long as the conductors are a twisted copper pair with robust connectors you should not hear much difference. This is the big advantage of balanced over unbalanced.

I've used Virtual Dynamics, Audio Note, Cardas and Canare DIY. They were all pretty good IMO. The VD cables however, are like garden hoses, which are a real hassle.
