Disservice: XLR interconnects


I ended up shelling out some serious bucks and buying Cardas XLR interconnects and connected them between the Luxman C900U, M10X and the hifi Rose RS150B. I am blown away, at the details and just how it bumped up the sensation of just the beautiful musicality..

I have to say, I am no longer in the camp of cables don't matter. In fact, I think folks who say cables do not matter are doing a great disservice to the audiophile community.

@yyzsantabarbara - What does the spec "AES48 compliant" refer to?

In my limited research the only thing I could find is that it calls for the cable shield to be connected to pin 1 of the XLR at both ends, rather than the shell tab.

If this is not the case, could you please explain? Thanks.

 

@atmasphere - Thank you for your detailed response Ralph. Just an FYI while I've got you here: I've always wanted to own one of your amplifiers but with retirement just around the corner I think I may have to wait for my next life! 

@ditusa  - thank you Mike for your article as well.

I did find through this information that my XLR interconnects are AES48 compliant.
