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.

@audphile1  Thanks.  I was intrigued with your earlier comment that the Mogami Studio Gold XLRs did not give your the same sonic quality of your Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper.  I used to own a pair of the Crescendo Mark ll, and really love the quality of Acoustic Zen products.  A little research show me the Absolute Copper retail at  $2625 for a one meter pair from The Cable Company.  The Mogami Studio Gold XLR retails for $47 per meter on Amazon.  You weren't expecting them to sound similar were you?  Wouldn't that be a kick in the pants if the did.  Cheers.

@bigtwin LOL no of course I didn’t expect the Mogami to sound like the AZ Absolute Copper. It was more of an experiment to see if the benefits of freeing up space between the speakers can outweigh the differences in cables. I gave it enough time to break in and sink in.

@audphile1 Did you get Tony and Big Pussy to listen? 🤣

Big Pussy couldn’t make it. He’s busy feeding the fish
