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.

Thomas, I'd go with the Venustas. But if you're going to use an RCA to RCA (not an RCA to DIN) make sure you get the tonearm version and not a "regular" RCA pair. And if you have a separate phono preamp, then get a "regular" Venustas RCA pair to go from that to your preamp. Synergy is very important in the analog source chain.

The only other tonearm and preamp cable(s) that compare favorably to the Venustas (and I suppose the Dominus, though I've not heard those) is the Silver Breeze by Silver Cable. They're a little cheaper too. Talk to Max, he'll probably let you audition a pair.

I chose the Venustas (and had to eat canned Tuna and use regular gas for three months ;~))
