Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference?
Serious question here. I currently own a rather good XLR cable that goes between the amp and DAC. I’m considering a better XLR cable to improve things, basically all the good aspects of sound reproduction such as deeper and more defined bass, better separation and detail across the frequency spectrum and an airier and more 3-dimensional sound in the midrange and treble. Will a different XLR cable supposedly one that’s costlier bring me to that direction?
My current XLR cable costs about $2k actual price paid.
I’m looking at an alternative pair up to about $2k perhaps $3k tops if it is proven that the cable is able to bring a noticeable or worthwhile if not significant difference. I am actually looking at the Wireworld Silver Eclipse 8 and Gold Eclipse 8 XLR.
Any experience would be appreciated.
@tweak1 - That's interesting to hear. The local shop that I purchased it from (used) will repair Pathos I'm fairly certain. Also, I'm a member of a Pathos group on FB and one of the members works at Pathos and is routinely asking questions and such. She even pushed on Upscale Audio for me when I was trying to get a remote for it through them. |
