Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000

I’ve had great success going with quality (and costly) mains power cables in the main system. In my experience power cords bring the most significant difference in comparison to interconnects and speaker cables. However, I have not really tried the best interconnects out there.

I currently have the Wireworld Silver Eclipse 8 XLR and an Acrolink 8N-A2080III Evo XLR in the system. Both sound excellent although different in their presentation. I’m wondering if the top-of-the-line WW Platinum Eclipse 8 XLR or Acrolink Mexcel DA6300IV XLR will bring a noticeable or worthwhile improvement to the sound.

Any experiences would be appreciated.

The wonderful thing about cables is that they’re incredibly easy to buy and sell used.

Yes easy to buy new then easy to sell for a significant loss. I see so many pricey second hand wires on hifi sites these days!  It would seem there is an abundance of bad investments accumulating out there over time.   Wires do tend to be relatively durable compared to electronics over time so there is that.
