Balanced cables


Do different brands/levels of balanced XLR ended cables going to and from differentially balanced components make a difference?

Depending on which amp and speakers I have setup, there is a definite preference for the XLR cable between preamp and amp.  The cable chosen is a different brand between the two setups. The remainder of the systems cabing remains unchanged.

Yikes, that long of a run will be really pricey for a quality cable.  The hard part is there is not a best cable period.  It will take time and a few candidates to find the right one for you and your system.  Maybe the Cable Company has some long runs of different XLRs you can try.

You will get everyone’s version of the best cable, unfortunately that won’t help you one bit.  I won’t tell you mine.

Question, is this a new problem or something that’s been there awhile and finally bothering you to the point of doing something about it?
