XLO Cables

the xlo signature 2 have been in/out of my system the last 3 years due to changes in my configuration..though i have tried many others at a higher cost (nordost,synergistic, acoustic zen,cardas,straighwire,wireworld,mit,audioquest,audience etc...) i have always returned to the signature 2 and they are one of the few interconnect cables that i will use back to back (source to pre and pre to amp...they let the music come through).

they are a very neutral cable with with very good transparency and incredible bass slam and defintion. though it isnt highly reviwed it or advertised, xlo has a very good reputation. when i had to sell them (went from single ended to balanced) they have been easy to sell at minimum loss because they are in demand.

i havent use it for a tonearm cable, but i have read the signature series is very good..i see you are using the xlo signature speaker cable (keep me in mind if you ever want to sell them::))))

btw, very nice system..what isolation device is your dcs stack on ?

Dear Mikesinger, I think, I have made the same experiences you did.Well, I am not a cable maniac, I tried a few well regarded ones and it was more or less boring compared to XLO. So I stopped that. But maybe I missed something, you know ....upgraditis.
Btw. I use XLO speaker cable in shotgun termination ( double run ) and please don't be sad, but I think, they only will leave when my fingers are cold. Very cold.

The dCS stuff is on a Machina Dynamica Suspension ( US ).

Dear Wellfed, it is for the DaVinci Audio Labs Arm.

Thomas...i know what you mean on both(upgradeitis & wanting to hang onto the xlo speaker cables)

i have heard the kubala sonsa and higher end shunyatas at the local stereo shop and the owner who i have known and trust says they are "very good" ( which mean really exceptional). with that being said and the local buzz, it would be worth a audition..

btw, have you heard the xlo unlimited edition ?
