XLR or RCA cables?


There is lots of discussion about XLR being better than any RCA.

However,  people spend lots of money on expensive RCA connections. 

Do people also have better quality XLR cables and does it make a difference?

Short answer:
If equipment supports the AES47 standard, the the cable will make less difference-compared to RCA.
I suggest you PM Ralph Karsten (Atmasphere) for a complete reasoning- though I think it is on his website.

As far as personal experience goes, I bought some cables from Ralph when I bought his amps and preamp. I think it is Mogami.
I  though I was done with it, but I tried some AQ cables (Mackensie?).
To be honest, I couldn't hear a significant difference between the two.
