Mogami XLR ($125). I directly compared them to my Audioquest Tbirds at $3600. Yes, the Audioquest's are better all around, but you really need to listen intently to ascertain a difference. Jaw-dropping performance on the cheap!
XLR cables for a reasonable price?
I've seen lots of threads where it is stated that balanced components are "insensitive" to cables. Does this mean that spending a lot of money on XLR cables is probably unnecessary, as it offers no sonic benefit over cheaper XLR cables?
I would like some recommendations on reasonably priced XLR cables that give excellent sonic performance. Thanks for your replies.

What a great system! Congrats!!! I’ve heard Ralph @atmasphere say here many times that if components follow the “balanced standard” (that I think he may have a patent for) the differences between interconnects becomes basically nonexistent and take him at his word. Hopefully he’ll chime in here for the final word/recommendations. If true as advertised you could potentially save a bundle on wires, and wouldn’t that be a nice little bonus? |
Love absolutes..... oft absolutely wrong, or at least misleading. @jeffreyw referred to the Mogami XLR, they show up here for sale regularly and are terrific for not much money. These things depend on several variables, but for not much coin you can experiment. Those Mogamis bested my Wire World Eclipse Silver 8 RCA > XLR in their application. When I got Mogamis with XLR both ends it all changed. Best of luck on your journey. |

@hifinut51 I have the A-S MP3 and S30 in one of my systems. Class D being delivered tomorrow 😁 I use Cardas Clear or Clear Beyond cables everywhere except preamp to amp. There I use Mogami XLR made by 10 Audio. I’ve tried Cardas between the pre and amp but think the Mogami sound just as good. Quite frankly there is no difference between the two. Will also try with the Class D but based on what Atma-Sphere and my dealer say, I’m expecting the same results. Try it for yourself. The cables are very inexpensive and it’s the only way you’ll be a believer. It was for me. It’s a very nice savings to put to better use somewhere else in your system. |
