XLR Connector Comparison

Recently had my ears opened to a pair of Monster Proline XLR SP1000 Mic cables wt Gold Neutrik connectors. For anyone who knows what real music sounds like and want's the best sound on a budget price, these will blow you away for $49/each run. They have bested $6k plus cables I've owned:O)

Dave_b - You paid $6k for those cables or they "retailed" for $6k? I guess I will have to buy a pair of these Monster cables and put them up against the Jade Audio cables. 8-)

Retailed, I payed $3200:O) As they break in the sound get's closer, although there may be a smidge more energy on top with the reference cables...program dependent and mostly with material that has alt of upper freqency energy to begin with. But hay, for $100 vs $3200 duh!! Can you say no brainer:O)

Holy markups Batman! I am looking for some XLR ideas for a DIY cable and I checked out those Bochinno's whick looked excellent until I saw the tag on them! I mean triple digits on a set of copper spades! Last I checked, copper was not that rare nor the technology that advances on silver plated copper. Looks like I will have to check out some of those other brands mentioned. Any other manufacturers use solid copper pins with silver plating?

Nothing compares to Xhadow connector. They are the best....
