2nd the mogami platnum great bang for the buck also pangea higher end and monoprice higher end 18 gauge on amazon.you can spend alot on cabels.enjoy the music and I think it more important to run long xlr and short speaker cabels that will be your best return.many reviews agree.
Good choice for 20' XLR cable?
I'm thinking of moving my equipment rack to a side wall. If and when I do that, I will need a pair of 20' XLR cables to go between preamp and amp. I do not want to spend more than $1,500.00 for the pair, hopefully much less for decent quality. New or used is okay for me.
Do you have any thoughts or suggestions regarding a particular brand?
Thank you.

What are you using between your amp and preamp now? If you currently have a an optimal cable for your system, is it possible that using a lower quality cable due to the length will negate the benefit of moving your rack? I think I'd want to try the cable before I went through the pains of moving everything. I just went through that with my new rack. |
What is your system?

Hello and Happy New Year, As a cable DIY'er I assemble my own cables. Suggest that you check out Mogami 2549 raw cable at 77 cents per foot. For XLR connectors recommend Neutrik XLR NA3FF-B (female) @ $16.66 each and their NA3MM-B (male) @ $ 15.67 each via https://wwww.performanceaudio.com

Easiest is going to be World's Best with Mogami. Best would be home made with Connex/DH Labs pure silver from Parts Connexion. Note that while I do think they sound fabulous, the single strand is a little brittle. I've had them break at the connector after a little handling. |
