I am using Siltech Crown prince XLR,s at the moment. which is a good cable for sound. I have not had a more pricey cable to try for sound difference but know it better then a cheaper one. At this moment i feel that changing the plugs on my power cables {black cat} to Furutech NCF make my music sound crisper. For a cheaper price than upgrading my XLR cables. The rhodiums help with the bass and the silvers more with mids and highs. My system is Parasound JC5 amp, MBL Noble pre and cd dac. With Crystal Cable Arabesque Glassmaster speakers.
Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference?
Serious question here. I currently own a rather good XLR cable that goes between the amp and DAC. I’m considering a better XLR cable to improve things, basically all the good aspects of sound reproduction such as deeper and more defined bass, better separation and detail across the frequency spectrum and an airier and more 3-dimensional sound in the midrange and treble. Will a different XLR cable supposedly one that’s costlier bring me to that direction?
My current XLR cable costs about $2k actual price paid.
I’m looking at an alternative pair up to about $2k perhaps $3k tops if it is proven that the cable is able to bring a noticeable or worthwhile if not significant difference. I am actually looking at the Wireworld Silver Eclipse 8 and Gold Eclipse 8 XLR.
Any experience would be appreciated.
