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.

I tired some others but the Cardas Clear Beyond XLRs on my system are great. Here's a pair very nicely priced.

Hijiri Million Kiwami XLR cables are also great so I have been told but I have not heard them. You wanted over 3K!

Maybe many of us learned folks here chase “better ” cables because our hearing is declining? Maybe we get used to one kind of sonic signature and trade it for another? There are so many other variables too; least of all many folks just plain like to tinker or buy/try something else. How many here are collectors of watches, records, stamps, tools just to name a few? My psychic powers say many. Hope this is beyond clear.
