Any suggestions for XLR interconnect between pre and power amp?

I have a $12,000 XLR that is 95% off right now. So not only does it sound better because it's more expensive (we encourage sighted evaluations so you know to pick the correct one) it's a better deal also.
Take a look at the new Shunyata Venom series. The price is in your range, and I would expect the same Shunyata price/performance ratio as with their other cables. I installed the Venom speaker cables a couple of months ago in my HT, and am very happy with the improved bass, and overall increase in low level detail and clarity that resulted.

..great reply Jinjuku...nothing like a snarky post during the holidays. Now you have a merry one my friend!
Yeah, it's sort of like being told that Santa Claus isn't real. It's nothing a little kid or an audiophile want's to hear.
Some times the jest is lost in text. It was meant to be over the top response to a reply that was in and of itself a response to the OP saying he couldn't go that high $$ wise.
Lighten up.
..lighten up? Will do but only if you do as well. I've read several of your posts and lightened hardly describes them. My reply to your smarta** post was appropriate so no need for me to lighten up on my part. Merry Christmas all the same..
Make sure to order cables from a place with a full refund return policy. If they don't stand behind what they are selling then you may not want to get it from them.
10% restock fee is a no go for me.
Evaluate blind. Have someone put the cables in. Make your notes and find out after what you were listening to and line up the notes.
Have a great holiday.

Picked up a pair of Mogami Gold today. Still breaking in but not impressive so far.
Based on this thread, I ordered four Mogami Golds and replaced my Transparent Audio MusicLink another high-end XLR cable whose brand I don't recall. The new cables sound just like the old and are shorter and easier to manage in my rack. So I am happy. Thanks guys.
..these XLRs are less than $40. Doesn't that fit your argument about the folly of buying esoteric cables?
Can you please quote any argument I've made other than the the IEC 268-12 standard that XLR cables are ratified around?
I seem to recall typing that one should be honest about their evaluation and simply remove cognitive bias as best they can. I'm also sure I've haven't met anyone that could tell the Mogami apart from a pair of AQ/KK's and some ~$300 Kimbers when I had them listen blind.
The OP should purchase anything they are interested in from an outfit that has a 100% money back guarantee policy.
Update: 15 hours in and the Mogamis are sounding better. Still, the Audio Research Litz cable in XLR is a bit better. Will keep burning in.
P.S. A got a bit of discount...$60 for the pair, $30 each compared to $44 list for a 6 foot run.
