Is there an affordable long run XLR preamp to amp cable out there?

I'm currently using a pair of Oyaide Tunami XLR cables between my preamp and amplifier(s). I'd love to get an affordable pair of XLR cables to use with other amps 20 feet away, eliminating a need to have 2 complete set ups. No deep pockets here... are there any affordable, good sounding long run XLR preamp to amp cable out there?

You betcha , Mogami Gold . Don't look for it to bandaid flaws elsewhere in your system though . Like your speakers , amp , source already ? Then this cable does the job .

Chances are the sound signals of any recording you play ran through hundreds of feet of Mogami at multiple stages.

Mogami, Belden and Canare are all used on stage and studio. My bet no one knows how many miles are out there and which one is used the most... my guess Belden or a knock off cheaper generic. The three noted are all good but have their limitations.

I just mixed a live concert using a 100 foot snake and, as usual, it sounded great with no limitations.

I agree with the Canare microphone cable recommendation above. I had HAVE, Inc. assemble a set balanced IC's (~15' lengths) with premium grade Nuetrik XLR connectors at a decent price.
