Who makes super quiet XLRs around $1k?


I’m looking to buy a pair of XLR that is super quiet, lowest background noise and ambience for around $1k?
Currently testing a pair of Transparent Ultra Gen5 and it’s very quiet...
Thank you

It’s all about how the cable is shielded without hurting the sound. Most shielding closes in the sound even though it makes for less noise. Shielding is there to reduce noise and make a cable “quiet”.

The quietest cable one can hear, based on my experience, is building one with a sort of faraday cage around it that has no sonic degradation properties.

To that end, read about the helix design principe talked about here.....
