I really like Mogami so surprised that didn't work out for you. Parts Connexion has a DH labs sourced balanced, pure silver cable but it may be just out of reach.
Long XLR recommendations
Hi all, due to a wifely requirement I have to run balanced interconnects about ~30 feet. These will go between a BAT VK-3ix and Liberty Audio B2B-100s running mono. Ready made cables would be prohibitively expensive for an approx. 10m run so I'm looking at DIY.
I've previously tried Mogami and Canare but haven't been too impressed, they both seemed a bit dull and lacking inner detail. I've built several cables using Furez FZ162AA that I liked better than the Mogami/Canare but, of course, I'm looking for something better.
Trying to keep costs below $10/ft rules out a lot of cables but i don't want to break the bank. I've been looking at Neotech NEI-3004 and DH Labs BL-1. Would either of these be "better" to the Furez cable? If you think there is other cable that I've forgotten please chime in.
I plan to use DH Labs XLR connectors for these cables. Are there other affordable XLRs that use copped conductors?
Thanks in advance for the recommendations and opinions.

@erik_squires thanks for that, I forgot about the connex cable. I'm not too fond of solid silver though. For some reason, mogami never really floated my boat. @dill thanks for the BL-1 vote Has anybody used the NEI-3004? |
