XLR cables for a reasonable price?


I've seen lots of threads where it is stated that balanced components are "insensitive" to cables.  Does this mean that spending a lot of money on XLR cables is probably unnecessary, as it offers no sonic benefit over cheaper XLR cables?

I would like some recommendations on reasonably priced XLR cables that give excellent sonic performance.  Thanks for your replies.

@hifinut51 I just picked up my Atma's class D's yesterday. They're absolutely fantastic. Literally zero heat and exactly what I wanted. Turned them on and they sound great right out of the box. I'm also eyeing the MP3.3, apparently the dealer mentioned the MP3 will absolutely blow away my Primaluna Dialogue Premium Pre. So I'm placing an order in a few weeks as apparently they take a few months to get in. 

@veerossi don't even get me started. I was supposed to be waiting a few months to jump into the MP3.3 lagoon, and hearing this has me really curious. I've enjoyed my cable tweaking, but haven't gotten to RCA'S yet so if I can skip this step and go fully balanced and not need to wonder "what if", I'm all in. What pre did you come from before and what do you think about the RCA and swapping to balanced on the MP3.3?

 

@atmasphere hey Ralph, why don't we have a balanced speaker cable yet? Is this possible?
