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.

@audphile1 Thanks for the power cable recommendations.. I'll look into that.. My dealer has a range of Power cables between Nordost and Cardas brands. They will let me borrow them for a trial at home. I can start with the Amp first and then move to the Preamp if need be.. 

@mulveling I moved from some random XLR cables that I got from Amazon to the Dealer bought Cardas XLRs. And I am just kicking myself for not having done it sooner..

@ghdprentice you are right, I was commenting on higher range XLRs.. I feel like I have achieved the true potential of what I have assembled with the system.. I just recently updated the photos in my virtual system.. 

@dz13 are you serious about USB cable? I grew up with the notion its just carrying ones and zeroes and so what gives. Unless it's long enough where some data could get dropped. It's funny one of my senior design project was to write an error correction algorithm with encoding and decoding to ensure same data between source and destination.. Anyway, that is surprising and I might tweak and play with the usb cables.. 

@jond my apologies.. I was so excited with the XLR cables, like someone else said.. it was an epiphany, my first instinct was to blast out what ever came to my mind first.. 

@dz13 agree.. Even with the XLR cables I'd like to use the shortest lengths possible.. The ones that I got are all 1.5m.. The price seem exponential, as you add to the length..
