I use Mogami cables everywhere in both my HT and 2 ch tube system. I bought 250’ from Redco. They can custom make any cable you like, if don’t fancy soldering your self a set. 4-5 week’s delivery time. Redco dot com.
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.

I haven’t made my own XLRs yet, but have been looking into do so recently. As @audphile1 says Sonic Craft sells runs of Neotech wire at a reasonable cost. |
@gfxmla I did consider buying from Sonic Craft but was looking at the Neotech NEI-301 MK lll. In the end, I have ordered a pair of cables from a Canadian retailer (keeping my $$$ at home). Neotech makes a cable for them that is the NEI-301 MK lll, but using all OCC Copper. No silver treatment on half the run. But, the cable gets the Cryo treatment which Neotech normally reserves for their élite line of cables. They offered a price that would be the same as building my own. I was able to choose the connectors I wanted and they have a very nice cover over the cable. Thanks everyone for all the good suggestions. Interesting how divided the group is on $2 per foot vs $20+ per foot. |
@bigtwin sounds like a good cable and has good connectors. Keep us posted on how this cable evolves |
