Long XLR Interconnect Cables


Currently I am using Mogami XLR 8m cables and thinking of upgrading to Acoustic Zen Absolute Silver XLR cable. Not trying to open a can of worms here, do you think it would be worth it?

I recently went from short balanced interconnects between preamp and amp and long speaker wires to long (23 feet, 7 meter) balanced interconnects and short speaker wires and I like what I hear. I’m using Mogami 2549 which is VERY inexpensive, and VERY low capacitance. I terminated myself using high quality XLR connectors (rhodium over copper + teflon). Both SS amp and preamp are fully balanced; preamp has output impedance of 110 ohms..

I read here about kilobuck interconnects that are completely out of my price range. I would consider using a better (more expensive) BULK cable. There are lots of them ranging in price from under $1 a foot to about $10 a foot.

Would anyone else using a long balanced cable share your experience? Please note the length that you use. Thanks.
