XLR male to female cables

Hello All,

Suggestions on decent XLR cables, PLease…

Regards,
Tushar.

If DIY is at all an option you can get the exact length you want.

As I understand it; Belden Brilliance 8412 is the standard in recording studios around the world. I’m not very well versed with a soldering iron but can manage my way around these. Buy some shrink for the ends and they turn out pretty nice looking.

I bought these on Amazon:

They are nicely made and inexpensive.

FWIW, if you haven’t come across them I found the Bechmark application notes helpful in weighing up these options. See also this note.

Purchased these a year ago for a CD player. Was pretty surprised at how good they sound given the modest price.

Yes. Quite similar to the BJ cables.

I’m a big fan of Audio Sensibility cables, very high quality and not outrageous prices. These are the ones I got for my Lumin T2 > Hegel H190.

What components do you plan to connect with your new balanced interconnects, and how far apart will they be?

Hello @David_Snyder, DAC to Speakers and the speakers will be approximately 8 ft from DAC.

I’ve had good results with these:

There are thousands of DACs and speakers. Do you mind sharing speciffically which DAC and speakers? For example, the answer may be different for a Chord Dave DAC and Dutch and Dutch 8c loudspeakers vs a HiFiBerry DAC+ Pro XLR DAC and JBL 305P speakers.

I’d suggest contacting Jerry over at Straight Wire. He’ll make a recommendation that is perfect for this combination.

I need to connect from a Cambridge Audio CXN v2 out to the balanced inputs on a Krell KRC-3 pre-amp, connected to a KSA-300S amplifier. The CXN will be sitting directly on top of the KRC-3 preamp.

Any thoughts on appropriate interconnects to use? I was thinking no longer than 1m.
