Good choice for 20' XLR cable?


I'm thinking of moving my equipment rack to a side wall. If and when I do that, I will need a pair of 20' XLR cables to go between preamp and amp. I do not want to spend more than $1,500.00 for the pair, hopefully much less for decent quality. New or used is okay for me.

Do you have any thoughts or suggestions regarding a particular brand? 

Thank you.

IF you spend a lot of money, make sure you can return for full refund.

I would get a basic pair to compare, because you might find these $25. 25lf pair is all you need

different colored ends is helpful, 25lf pair for $25.

quality construction

 

Yes for Pine Tree! I had them make me a custom length Phono Cable with my specific fittings (rca/din connector with long narrow neck to fit the arm’s long narrow tube). They were very helpful solving, making, promptly shipping it.

I mentioned the inexpensive find from Amazon above because I bought a cheapo 6’ phono cable from Amazon while waiting for a high priced much respected Ortofon Phono cable and the Pine Tree Cable.

Frankly, the $6. cheapo phono cable from Amazon sounds the same as the Ortofon and Pine Tree.

If you hear a difference, great, pick the preferred, I just think, with easy returns, a well made inexpensive cable from Amazon for comparison is easy and can potentially save you a lot of money.

Ali-Express, Temu, eBay from China or Japan, Yahoo Auctions, aleado from Japan: I have successfully used them as well, just pay attention to all the details, and watch the shipping cost as you select. Temu, you can pre-filter 'local warehouse', so the item is already in your country, you get it quickly, and returns if needed would be local.

Yahoo auctions: 1st you make an account with aleado with enough money already in it to cover your bid amount. 2nd: seller ships to Aleado (that cost is shown when bidding), 3rd: they give you several shipping methods with exact costs after they receive and inspect the item from the seller on your behalf. (there is a shipping calculator to get estimates for your address while bidding).
