XLR-Balanced Hybrid Hi-End Cable


Hi,

I want to buy 2 pair of XLR Balanced Hybrid Hi-End Cable. I have pure silver cables and I want to try hybrid one to be sure which one is the best for my audio system. If you have any brand or model suggestion I will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Nicko.

The Kimber Kable Silver Streak XLR Balanced interconnect uses silver for both the positive and return leg, and copper for the ground. The RCA Single-Ended version on the other hand uses silver for the positive leg only, copper for both return and ground.

The Kimber Select (higher priced) line uses a mix of silver and copper in each leg in some of the models, pure copper or pure silver in others. The higher the silver content, the higher the price, of course. 

Ralph, are using Mogami Gold Studio, available at Guitar Center for $39.95/pair of 3' balanced cables with Neutrik XLR's?
How’s the bass on the balanced Canare’s, adg? For subwoofer use, for instance.
Ah ha, adg---a drummer. So you carry your own mics and mixer with you to gigs? That's a great way to get the balance you want. Most sound guys put the snare drum way too loud in the mix for my tastes. But then I usually play a brass-shell (Ludwig Black Beauty) live, a pretty loud drum. It doesn't need any boost, it's got lots of presence.
