What I am saying, is if one needs a longer length XLR cable, do you think the signal is degraded by using a short high quality cable, with a longer mid grade extension? I know power cords are carrying amperage and XLR cables are carrying smaller amounts of voltage, but does this question hold water? I have stated before I'm using a couple of Transparent Music Link Supers, with a couple of Hosa extensions. I've tried using just the Transparents and can't hear any difference, after adding the extensions on to them. Actually, the extensions are first, then the transparents.
If aftermarket premium power cords work, why won’t short runs of premium XLR cables work?
I have followed many threads, where people swear premium power cables greatly benefit your sound. I haven’t decided, as the last time I tried a power cable was twenty years ago. I used a Transparent power cord and was on the fence. If adding a power cable improves the sound and it’s only the last few feet of your voltage source, what would make extending a premium XLR cable any different? If I understand the argument, per se, the premium power cord acts as a filter. XLR cables are mostly unsupcetable to outside interference. I’m sure I will be versed here one way or the other.
