XLR cables for a reasonable price?

Amps just came in today so much too soon to evaluate them other than like I already said they sound real good right out of the box.  I actually bought them as summer amps to replace my Atma-Sphere OTL amp when it gets too hot at my beach house. So I have plenty of time to break them in before next summer 😎. Your right, as I already mentioned in another thread, I sold all my analog gear and now using strictly digital as my source.  But it’s pretty good stuff ( Aurender N200 and Denafrips Terminator Plus DAC) so quite frankly I’m not missing playing records one bit.  Regarding the cables I think the answer to your question is neither.  With the fully balanced preamp and amplifier combination, the XLR interconnects just do not make a difference.  It’s not a question of one sounding better or worse than the other or the price of the cables, they just sound the same, at least to me, and from what I understand many other people as well.  I’m basically a Cardas guy.  Just love their cables after trying many other brands.  They continue to give me the flavor I like and while not cheap, imo are worth it.  I use their Clear or Clear Beyond for power cords, speaker cables, usb and interconnects. Everywhere but the connection between A-S preamp and amp.  I even use Clear RCA’s when I put in my single ended Conrad Johnson amp where there is a definite improvement over the Mogami RCA interconnects.  So the only thing I can conclude, and as Ralph Karsten continues to preach, when using balanced interconnects between a fully balanced preamp and amp the interconnects do not make a difference.  Go figure.  

Yes, I heard it from Ralph and some others. Usually, Mogami is what these people use. This is good because you don't have to think much about cables, it can be a real pain, not to mention cost. I only use Wywires Diamond and various Purist cables, so far don't seem to need to experiment more. I would like to try Japanese Hijiri cables, though, as recommended by Audiogon member, but can't find them used.

For me, switching from RCA to XLR from my PS to integrated amp was mind blowing. 

I have finally settled on these XLR’s which connect a Holo Audio May to a Primaluna EVO 400 pre and also connect the Primaluna pre to an EVO 400 power amp. They are very clean and not overly sharp. The gold/silver alloy has the best sonic balance I have yet heard in an interconnect They do take awhile to burn in.

I also use Anticables Level 3 power cords throughout the system. Their power cords are probably what the company is best known for.
