@bigtwin I tried that maneuver and used Mogami Studio Gold XLRs. After about a month I moved everything back. The aesthetic improvement wasn’t worth the loss in sonics compared to my then XLRs, Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper.
Don’t do cheap cables - you get what you pay for. Since you’re entertaining building your own cables, look into Neotech and use top notch connectors (Rhodium or Gold). Check out Sonic Craft for Neotech. Also, VH Audio has Furutech cables and connectors…worth looking into.
Really Long XLR
Looking to move my front end gear to the side wall in a new listening room. If I don't want cables running across the floor in front in my speakers etc., then I'm going to need a set of XLR interconnects in the 40 - 45 foot range. Wondering what other members have done and what cables have been selected for a very long run. Obviously the companies asking $$$$ for a one meter set are not in the running. All suggestions are welcome. Not afraid to build my own if anyone has had great experience with bulk XLR cable. Thanks.

@bigtwin sounds like a good cable and has good connectors. Keep us posted on how this cable evolves |
@bigtwin LOL no of course I didn’t expect the Mogami to sound like the AZ Absolute Copper. It was more of an experiment to see if the benefits of freeing up space between the speakers can outweigh the differences in cables. I gave it enough time to break in and sink in. |
