First Foray into XLR


I know this is a topic like ‘oil’ or ‘tires’ on a car forum, but I have to ask...

Marantz AV8802a to Odyssey Stratos amp to Aerial 7T’s. Looking for advice on 1M XLR’s from pre/pro to power amp.

I’m skeptical of cables and snake oil claims, but I’m trying to be open minded. I’ve not used XLR before, so I’m not replacing anything, and not looking to spend a fortune, but would like input from others who’ve been where I am.

thanks

I’m a huge fan of Silnote’s Morpheus II XLR interconnects. They only sell direct and that keeps the cost to us much lower for what you get. I’ve got very sensitive Apogee Duetta Signature Series II magnetostatic dipole speaker’s, solid state BAT VK-600 w/ BAT pack connected XLR to my BAT VK-5i tube preamp and XLR to “native” RCA on my Node2 streamer. The interconnects were only $200 a pair and sound phenomenal on this system. XLR does make a difference if you truly have “balanced” components. BAT (Balanced Audio Technology) optimizes XLR capabilities. Give Silnote a call in Roanoke and they will be happy to walk you through all of your questions.
