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.

Take my advise........Get yourself a pair of heavily discounted, pre-owned Audioquest "Earth" XLR interconnects, and thank me latter.  

Pinetree makes nice cables at a reasonable price, but not very professional  customer service. I wanted to exchange  the speaker cables I bought, it was NOT a custom order, just unterminated. And  the response I got was, too bad, buy another set! They also have one of the most punitive return policies around so be sure of what you are ordering. Im all for buying local and small  dealer. But for want of one simple return after buying several other cables from PT in the past, they have lost all my future business. People nostalgic for mom&pop remember who stands behind their sales.

Amazon, Worlds Best Cables. They have at least two XLR interconnects under $100. Mogami is one and Canare the other I think, OR if you want to really step up

Consider looking for a used Audience Ohno.
