Anyone tried pro-audio XLR mike cable in system ?

I was wondering if anyone had experience using pro-audio XLR cable. You know, the ugly ones with the black rubber skin.

I think that expensive microphones (think large sensitive diaphrams) need revealing cables to carry the nuances and detail....especially for recording.

The connectors are obviously rugged...how about the cable's ability to pass on a signal in an audiophile system?

I tried an ''el cheapo'' one the other day, and frankly, it was above my expectations.

look at it this way, that is the cable thats used in making the recording. Along with Belden 8451 (i think) line cable with Swichcraft connectors for connection between the mixing consols and all equipment in the studio. To me thats what was used in the making of almost all music and commercials in NYC during the 70s and 80's.
The most important issue was shielding
I dont know what they use now
