XLO Cables

Someone out there who has them ? I have a few and honestly I never looked for something else. But now I am looking for another pair of RCA for my next Tonearm ( Termination Box ) and would like to get your opinions. Even XLO search is not great compared to other brands, probably not enough advertisement? I think about trying a Purist Venustas but I never listened to that one. Long time ago I compared the XLO with Cardas and I made my decsision for XLO.
Anyway, thanks for reading.

i havent heard or read much about the unlimted... only the reference, signature, and limited (tried the reference & the signature)

in the process of upgrading the digital rig and looking for a new digital cable...i have tried the signature (very good) but cant afford the limited, so wondering if the extra cash will yield a sonic improvement...

I use the XLO signature for that, but honestly, I like it the way it is and I am careful with expensive investigations into Digital. I stopped it some time ago, most CD's are inferior for me, from the Mastering and sound. I never tried Unlimited or LE here, I have the LE between the Phono amps and Pre amps and here they are very good. Not spectacular but when I plug them out, there is a change of balance and the accentuation of the Details.

Thomas, I found out this evening that Xtreme Cables doesn't make a shielded phono cable. Be sure to try out their QuickSilver GOLD contact paste though, NO system should be without it IME. Seriously good stuff. Write me if you'd like more details.

Hello Wellfed, thanks for your kind recommendation. I will think about it, I never used material like that.

I like the XLO limited interconnects. One of the few that can deliver a deep and weighty bottom end without sounding dull on top. I also like the NBS Omega stuff (Black label is amazingly good, but really up there in cost). I had a brief audition of both Basis (the turntable people) interconnects and speaker cables; the combination was the best I've heard in my friend's system. This stuff is quite promising.
