@mattmiller Thanks Matt. Signal Cable would be $400 for the pair. At a similar price I am also looking at Gotham Ultra Pro

Really Long XLR
Looking to move my front end gear to the side wall in a new listening room. If I don't want cables running across the floor in front in my speakers etc., then I'm going to need a set of XLR interconnects in the 40 - 45 foot range. Wondering what other members have done and what cables have been selected for a very long run. Obviously the companies asking $$$$ for a one meter set are not in the running. All suggestions are welcome. Not afraid to build my own if anyone has had great experience with bulk XLR cable. Thanks.

“I am truly surprised there is anyone suggesting this is the place where a $50 - $100 cable is the appropriate choice. ” Nothing to be surprised here, just check out the audio system of folks recommending $1 - $2 per foot. Most folks recommending these cables never mentioned their components nor their system listed here. Your system should allow you to hear differences between the cables, no matter what price point / brand you choose to go within your budget. For the kicks, try a short pair of Mogami/Belden/BlueJeans etc etc and compare it with Audio Envy, Zavfino, Audio Sensibility or Neotech. You will know what to do next :-) |
@lalitk Right now I have narrowed it down to two cables. 1. Audio Envy O’nestian for $1250. They are using OCC copper and the cables appear to be very well constructed. Maybe the best I have seen at this price. 2. Gotham Audio XLR Cable, GAC-2 Ultra Pro, 10561 for $380. this cable ships from Germany and uses LCOF Copper, which is in between CFC and OCC. If you believe that single crystal copper actually improves the sound, then you pay the extra $800. The jury is still out on that one. The Gotham cable appears to be just as well constructed as the Audio Envy. The difference is really the copper. https://www.gothamcable.com/en/gothamcables/balancedanalog/10561gac2ultrapro |
No direct experience with Gotham Audio. It appears 10561 GAC2 designed for microphones in professional applications. If you are pursuing Gotham Audio, look into the GAC-3 10701 designed for audio. Everything I read, points to professional audio applications. https://www.gothamcable.com/en/gothamcables/madeupleads/xlr3conductorlead/neumann10701 |
