DIY xlr cables

I use the DH Labs Pro Studio bulk interconnect. A bit more expensive than the BL-1, but better cable construction and higher quality dielectric.  I have 5 meter lengths between my preamp and poweramp and they sound great. 

Mogami W2549 is considered by many in pro audio to be one of the best. I have been using it for years for balanced ICs and am completely happy with it.

Yes, that looks like it. :)

Buy a length of Neotech 20awg OCC Teflon solid-core hookup wire and then braid it (3 x 20awg for an XLR).  It comes to about $7-8 per foot.

Here is an inexpensive choice.

Thanks for your reply. I went to parts connexion. Is the BL-1 the wire you’re referring to? It might work nice together with my DH labs T-14 shotgun biwire speaker cables. 
Thanks!

I really like the DH Labs solid core silver from Parts Connextion. It IS brittle however, so make sure you leave slack at the connectors.
