XLR interconnects


I read that XLR interconnects can maintain the signal over longer distances therefore it is ideal to use an XLR interconnect over rca unbalanced cables. Why then do you see cable manufacture companies produce 0.5 m, 1m, 2m, 3m interconnects for audio gear? What is difference over a 1m, 2m, 3m rca unbalanced cable? Is there any sound differences?

2017 audioman,

If you have fully differential balanced components then use XLR cables. Significant improvement IME.
Agree stringreen. XLR's can sound good on a reasonable budget, whereas you have to up the budget substantially more to get to a similiar performance from RCA's.
