Thanks for everyone’s input. Ive settled on trying some pure occ silver cables. These will be my first all silver cables so it will be a learning experience.
XLR cable recommendations needed
Hi,
I would like to purchase 2 pairs of xlr interconnects but would like them to be silver plated occ copper with good connectors. Budget is $200-$500 per pair but would like to stay on the lower end. They must be silver plated occ copper and from a reputable manufacturer. They will be used from source to preamp and preamp to amp in a hybrid 2 channel and surround sound system which share main front speakers.
I was using some older low cost ZY silver plated xlr cables that were an Amazon special about 10 years ago and they sounded okay and were built decent but Im looking to upgrade. I recently made a mistake of buying an ofc copper only cables without silver plating and although the build quality is very good, they arent doing it for me. Low and mids are good on these cables but the high end is extremely lacking. I will break them in some and keep them for other applications but know I will need to upgrade to something better.
Please provide me some recommendations on good sounding cables that are silver plated occ copper with good connectors. Thanks in advance.

Which is? Brand? Model? | ||
I have been using and recommending Stager's pure silver cables for over ten years. The are a no-compromise high-end design sold directly by Marc Stager and made to order. The savings are considerable given no wholesale or dealer markups, and no-frills packaging. There are loads of user comments and reviews, several so positive that the reviewers kept the review samples, bought at full price. You can learn more for your yourself at the silver solids website, | ||
Audioman2015, In your price range I'd look at Zavfino or Morrow Audio. Zavfino have both OOC copper (Arcadia) and silver/copper (Fusion) versions to consider. I also am a big fan of Morrow Audio cables, but only the MA4 level and higher cables.....they currently have a 55% off sale (code CH55, they always have sales), which would put a pair of MA4s under $200. Make sure to break in the cables, My Zavfino took over 100 hours, and the Morrow's were about 200.....though you can have them burn them in for you. |
