What is the benefit of balanced xlr cables

Next year they will come with all new powercords. I told them that they are not good enough. When you compare them with others they are still fine. But like I always say; audio is all about those products which are most convincing. Then there are better.

When a cable is sold in rca, the 3th is not used I guess.

I use tools for their properties. I compare many cables and I work with those who give the best results. With AQ I can compete very easily against many others. I judge audio on what I call Total sound. For cables the same thing. Read this when you want to know how I describe Total Sound.

When I bring in cables I explain all parts to my clients. You compare all the different cables he wants to test.

Often you win a shootout. why?

- more details against competitors
- more speed
- better control
- better blacks
- sharper individual focus
- more layers in the mid freq.

And that is why the best and most convincing tool always wins in audio.

These days I use 2 sets of the new Wel Signature xlr. I tested and owned many expensive cables in over 16 years of time. I never auditioned one with this precision. Voices are more open than with any highend copper interconnect. The level of physical apperance is the best I heard sofar. The same thing about differences in height. Music you thought you knew well is presented totally different. Much more exiting and involving. Next week I will recieve my Pass labs X350.5. I will write a review about these interconnects soon.

Good job. I look forward to your review.

I had Wel Signature XLR's in my system (All Ayre), and have never been so disappointed...only Cardas cables were worse. This underscores that in MY experience you have to audition cables in YOUR system to hear if they touch your soul. Every cable in every system is differnent.

When you are aware of the properties of each single part in your system you understand better what you will get. Ayre has his own sound. This openness in the mid en high freq. is a lot different than others. I think the silver can cause a harsness in mid and high freq. The thing what it makes unique in my set is that is gives a stunning level ( new level) of differences in height. Beside this I never auditioned any expensive highend cable with this level of physical apperance.

Copper is more forgiving in sound than silver. But the best silver cables can reveal a lot more details than the most expensive coppercables. When you compare the MIT Oracle cabels with the Audioquest We Signiture in a well balanced highend set you will hear how huge the difference is in resolution, speed, blacklevel and physical and intimate image. It is a totally different world!
