Another vote for Mogami - can't go wrong for the price and they're damn good cables
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.

I had the same problem- Morrow Audio wouldn't make me a XLR cable long enough and I was getting into $10,000 territory with a custom set of Cardis. Since I'm not Elon that option got downvoted. I read the PS Audio DIY article here: https://www.psaudio.com/blogs/copper/how-to-make-a-50-high-end-xlr-interconnect/ I have made up a number of sets of these since my first try. I cannot tell the difference between them and my $600 1M Moro Audio XLRs. Yes, if you have a real listening room fully treated with bespoke gear and outstanding source material plus a golden ear you would be able to tell the difference between the Mogami DIY stuff and the $10K cables. My argument is that in a home stereo setup playing in a room with kids, dogs, furniture, Christmas trees a month a year, etc. the Mogami setup in that video is indistinguishable from the multi-thousands of dollar cables. |
I've been very satisfied with Benchmark Media cables. Worth checking out. $153 for a pair of XLR cables, 25 feet. I'm using their XLR interconnects and speaker cables. Benchmark Studio&Stage™ StarQuad XLR Cable for Analog Audio - Benchmark Media Systems |
