@audphile1 Thanks for the info!
Long XLR recommendations
Hi all, due to a wifely requirement I have to run balanced interconnects about ~30 feet. These will go between a BAT VK-3ix and Liberty Audio B2B-100s running mono. Ready made cables would be prohibitively expensive for an approx. 10m run so I'm looking at DIY.
I've previously tried Mogami and Canare but haven't been too impressed, they both seemed a bit dull and lacking inner detail. I've built several cables using Furez FZ162AA that I liked better than the Mogami/Canare but, of course, I'm looking for something better.
Trying to keep costs below $10/ft rules out a lot of cables but i don't want to break the bank. I've been looking at Neotech NEI-3004 and DH Labs BL-1. Would either of these be "better" to the Furez cable? If you think there is other cable that I've forgotten please chime in.
I plan to use DH Labs XLR connectors for these cables. Are there other affordable XLRs that use copped conductors?
Thanks in advance for the recommendations and opinions.

I have had Liberty audio gears ( preamp and Power amp). Very good gears. I asked Peter for an XLR between and i received the gears with Harmony Technologie Precision . It was very good and better than a Organic audio XLR. i still have the Harmonic Technologie between my Pbn audio LXIS and EBSA -1. just my 2 cents |
I personally use EBXYA, it's enough for me to support my daily work, and it's cheap enough for you to try. Link：www.ebxya.com |
I agree with @audphile1 I like OCC copper for interconnects. I have both the NEI 3001 mark 3 with XLR and the audience ohno XLR. They both replaced Signal Cable analog 2 interconnects and made a difference. However, price for 30 feet would be quite high, but, for that long of a run, I would try to get OCC copper. Sonic Craft has NEI 3001 Mark 3 for $18.11 a foot.... Since you are buying so much, I would call them to see if you can get a deal. |
