XLO Cables
Thomas, I found out this evening that Xtreme Cables doesn't make a shielded phono cable. Be sure to try out their QuickSilver GOLD contact paste though, NO system should be without it IME. Seriously good stuff. Write me if you'd like more details. QuickSilver GOLD |
I like the XLO limited interconnects. One of the few that can deliver a deep and weighty bottom end without sounding dull on top. I also like the NBS Omega stuff (Black label is amazingly good, but really up there in cost). I had a brief audition of both Basis (the turntable people) interconnects and speaker cables; the combination was the best I've heard in my friend's system. This stuff is quite promising. |
I have to revive this old thread after having listened to the XLO Signature 2 in my system recently. Although there is lack of advertisement, write-up or reviews on XLO cables, I have to agree with most comments here especially on Mikesinger's assessment. I am particularly impressed on the bass slam and definition on the XLO as my other interconnects which include the Nordost Frey pales in comparison. The definition in bass was so improved that I had to leave the subwoofer out from the mix. I was somehow taken aback by the impact this cable had made to my system. I am curious as to how much better the Unlimited or Limited series will be. There are many other good cables around and XLO is certainly one of them. |
