Coiling XLRs.... yes or no?


I purchased some xlr’s that i was fond of a few months back. Shunyata sigmas

I was able to get them for a great price but unfortunetly they are 3m. I figured it was fine as it gives me flexibility in the future (such as going monoblocks), but for now my lumin x1 sits on a rack directly above my diablo 300 amp. Honestly with how close they are i could get away with 0.5m

So i have them susupended in the air but coiled. I’m reading that this is a big no-no but most of the stuff i have read is related to speaker cables.

what should i do in this situation? Is it so bad that I should consider selling my interconnects for shorter ones?

for what it’s worth gene from audioholics measured this and while there was an increase in inductance, it wasnt enough to make an audible difference.

...now, if I coil my ICs'...'trash' that they may be....

Gee. I wonder....
