The one used in studios
??? Which XLR Interconnect ???
Complete ground up rebuild continues..
System:Speakers-ProAc Response D2D (latest build)...
Speaker cables-Tellurium Q "Black II w/Black II biwire jumpers...
Integrated amplifier-Pathos Classic Remix Mk.II w/Nordost Red Dawn LS power cable...
DAC-Denafrips Pontus 15th.(incoming) with Nordost Blue Heaven LS power cable...
I want to run a true balanced cable from the DAC to the integrated amp & have narrowed it down to the following short list:
Pangea "Premier XL" using solid core Cardas Grade One copper..
Audio Art "IC-3 SE2"using Silver plated OFC & superb Eichmann connectors with Cardas best solder..
Silnote "Morpheus Reference Classic" using solid core pure silver wire...
According to all my A/I research this system should be highly synergistic with an organic,wonderfully balanced sound,yet possessing excellent transparency & detail...
What are your thoughts on which cable will allow the best of the components to come through without mucking up the balance?
Any recommendations I might consider other than my short list?
Thanks much,take care...

I didn't like the Pangea when I tried them. Audio Art is fabulous, easy to recommend. Have not heard the Silnote you mentioned, some of their others I have heard were competitive for the price though. I would add Veritas Cables to the list. They use OCC copper and silver (sometimes hybrid). Several models at different price points and they are great to deal with. |
@freediver I just recently tried Audio Art silver clad copper statement XLR ICs and liked them. So may be worth giving Audio Art cheaper silver clad copper ICs on your list a try with return policy. here it is. You can build it yourself or have the guys at sonic craft terminate it for you |
10 feet of xlr that’s tricky. Your forced to buy lower quality than you normally would buying 3 meters, unless your willing to pay. If your pushed to lower quality xlr try an upgrade to your power cords. You can pick up nice $1500 to $2000 power cords from 10 or so years ago for $250 to $400 that perform like a component change. It may take up the slack from less quality xlr. |
