Hi,
Right now I'm using XLR cables between my Parasound amplifier and processor based on
Canare L-4E6S cabling. Since I'm upgrading my processor to a much higher level (Marantz AV8805 to Lyngdorf MP-60) I'm looking to upgrade my cabling also. Don't want to go crazy. Here are my options:- Wireworld
Equinox 8
XLR- Cullen Cable
Copper Series XLR Interconnects: Interconnect Features:
- Super Flexible 8mm PVC Outer Jacket
- 98% Shield constructed of 99.9% Pure OFC copper wire with drain wire which will eliminate EFI and RF
- 18 awg 99.99% Pure OFC Copper Conductors
- Teflon dielectric which provides an extremely high signal transfer and accurate sound quality
- Covered with black Techflex sleeving
- Made in the USA with professional grade materials
Connectors:
XLR’s Nuetrik X series with 24K gold plated Pins
- Schmitt Custom Audio cable WE Balanced XLR Black Gold InterconnectsSchmitt Custom Audio Western Electric 3 pin Balanced XLR Interconnects are built with vintage 24 gauge solid core copper Western Electric wire covered with silk cloth from the 1940's and 1950's era. Each strand is covered with black, platinum and red sleeves, then loosely braided and soldered to Neutrik 3 pin males and female connectors with black shells and 24kt gold plated pins.
The Wireworld cable is well reviewed, however the Schmitt cable uses the Western Electric vintage wire (also well reviewed). Cullen Cable is know for good, affordable products.
Any thoughts? Thank you.
