Benchmark XLR are some fine cables and cost almost nothing on a relative scale.
You definitely do not need expensive XLR cables. That link above is likely about AES48 (which I concur).
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.
