XLR cables for a reasonable price?

I sure can. One of the problems, and a big one, as I see it, is Ralph's endless self-advertising. As if there were no other good amps or engineering approaches. There are, and many. I believe that manufacturers and dealers should be honorably dismissed. It doesn't matter how much knowledge and skill they might have, this is not a proper place for them to be.

Mogami 2534 with Furutech 701 balanced connectors, personally I prefer the 701's to the much more expensive 601 series, Take Five Audio has everything you need to build your own or they can professionally terminate the cables for you. A professional quality termination on your balanced cable is going to matter more than the actual cable used in this application but Mogami cables perform above and beyond their price level add a great connector and Gene's skill at building cables you end up with a cable that is very tough to beat.

If you don’t need the additional noise rejection of a quad cable, consider the twisted pair Mogami W2549, which shares the same materials and shielding of the W2534.

High Quality Balanced Microphone Cable Neglex Type #22AWG

W2549 has been designed using our famous Neglex OFC to provide the highest quality audio reproduction in any recording application. It features #22AWG conductors and extremely low capacitance. The 100% coverage served shield and twisted pair construction is excellent at preventing noise caused by electromagnetic interference. This cable is recommended when extended high frequencies are important or where long cable runs may be needed.

Part No. W2549

I appreciate the sentiment but I think the conversations still benefit from people like Ralph. His bias is pretty obvious, but we all have biases. Frankly, I think Ralph’s presence and contributions here sometimes hurt his business as much as helps it.
