Oyaide pure silver 5 nines FTVS-910 might cost less then that depending on the length and which connectors are fitted.

you know who to ask
I don't think you need to go any further than: https://markgrant.co.uk/audio-cables...-balanced.html for XLR cable.
I haven't heard any differences between XLR cables, so go for pro audio quality for this reason & leave the 'foo' to the speaker cable & analogue RCA cable.

a 110ohm cable suggests to me the cable is made from an off-the-shelf cable designed for digital transmission. That's ok in itself but begs the question as to why it is then a fancy cable - it's just a bunch of ready-made parts stuck together and a sold with an extra bunch of hype at extra cost.
You can buy twisted, silver plated copper, 110ohm cable with PTFE, 100% shield with the shield electrically connected to the drain wire for about £5/ft.
Then this Black Rhodium cable has weights attached ! Well, you can solve that yourself if you need to - here are the BS (IMHO) claims made by Graham Nalty themselves about adding any old weight (so why buy theirs?):

The whole Black Rhodium description is an exercise in re-framing standard 110ohm cable features into over-written tripe. That's what copywriters are good at doing and is how advertising works to get you to pay more money for something quite standard.

That weight idea leaves so many unanswered questions...
Thanks!
I don't really care for the weights, the cable itself seems to get good reviews. But then again, so do crystals in some places ;¬)

Agree completely. I bought a couple pairs of these http://www.iglooaudio.co.uk/category/silver-mogwai/ and haven't been tempted to try anything more exotic.
