I use professional cables used in recording studios. They are not fancy, do not cost a lot and actually work. See, musicians don’t like noise and have to have long cables. Pro cables work in difficult studio environment, I am sure they will do fine at home. Check SweetWater and don’t be surprised by $50 prices. WORLDS BEST CABLES (Japan) on Amazon also good. My cables are 12-20 ft long.
Long XLR Interconnects
I know this has been discussed many times but not its at top of mind for my 2025 change. I'm planning to relocate my equipment to a side wall. I need to purchase a set of 16+ feet balanced interconnects. At that length cost becomes a real consideration. I currently run all balance Cardas Clear. I've looked at Morrow MA7, Cardas, Mogami and a few others. I don't what to lose imaging, soundstage, etc., but not excited about remortgaging the house.
Current Equipment:
Pre - Cary SLP05
Amps - AGD Audion
DAC - Bricasti M1 S2
Speakers - Joseph Audio Perspectives
Cables - Cardas Clear
Am I crazy? Any suggestions, based on experience, for moving to long XLR interconnects. Which cables would you suggest?
Thanks and sorry for bringing up an old topic.
