XLR cable for basic beginner

I second AQ King Cobra. It was much more expensive when it was called Python. AQ, to stay competitive, moved production to China and lowered prices renaming cables. King Cobra XLR, I had before, might be not as refined as Acoustic Zen Absolute XLR I have now, but is very good for the fraction of the cost while keeping similar neutral tonal balance.

Mogami Neglex Quad, you can buy it at most pro music shops like Guitar Center.

SOUNDSILVER.

Contact Stewart. He posts his stuff for sale here. Great sounding Silver XLR cables for way less than a $100!

Awesome build and great construction!

I too use Mogami Gold Studio xlr cable. A good source is B&H Photo Video.

For unbalanced cables, I've been pleased with Markertek's terminated Mogami 2534 cable.

Sam (C1Ferrari) -- FYI, my understanding is that the main differences between the Mogami 2534 and their AES/EBU cables are:

1)The AES/EBU cables have somewhat lower capacitance, which would only make a difference if cable length is long AND the output impedance of the component driving the cable is high. In that situation it would provide a more extended upper treble.

2)The AES/EBU cables have somewhat higher inductance, which shouldn't make any difference in a line-level interconnect.

The higher inductance and lower capacitance are a consequence of the AES/EBU cable's higher (110 ohm) characteristic impedance.

3)The AES/EBU cables do not have a star-quad configuration, which might mean a slightly increased susceptibility to noise pickup.

Wow,more to choose now,will check mogami wire soon.
U guys are rock,thanks
