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.

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.

 Just wondering if it is necessary to buy ultra-expensive XLR interconnects to get the most out these components.

@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.
