Mike Homar's Analogue Cable

[Spectral Morn]

And when did I say I can't do XLR, eh?

I would not be so presumptuous to ask you to solder/crimp me up some just to try. But if you have 2x1m XLR to XLR and 1x1m RCA to RCA I would be willing to listen and give my opinions.

Just a digital one then?

No. Because my BAT pre only has 2 XLR inputs I also use RCA to RCA to connect other items up that way. That selection of cables will allow me to compare to my known references....

I don't really use much in the way of digital cables at the present time as my main CD players are all one box units. It would complicate things to much if I start messing around with Transports and Dacs...I could, but I don't want to at the moment. Working with what I have set up at the minute will allow me to listen and report more quickly what I think/hear.

Is it mono then?

I just wondered why you asked for a single 1m RCA-RCA cable?

Sorry No. I think in terms of a 1m cable being as a stereo pair not a mono cable Just me... I have only ever sold linear mono M cables a few times in my life...made a very expensive mistake once on that distinction I ended up paying quite a few quid back to the shop I worked in and a customer got a bargain.

I need 2 1m stereo pairs with XLR terminations to try and a 1m stereo pair with RCA to RCA also to try.

HeHeHe... thought so. Just joshin!

[Mike]

Oh, Neil!

Quick question... The balanced cables, do you need male to female?

[Spectral Morn]

No problem Mike

Yes... I think so. Signal flow is from Pre to power and CD player to Pre. I take it they are directional your cables ?

Edit Your above question has confused me. Just standard XLR plugs one end an Out and one end an In

This sort of thing


One on Left is an OUT, one on Right is an IN

I can make them that way, if you like?

But normally, no, not for balanced cables...

I could do something a bit 'fancy' with respect to screening though. In which case I'd need to know the 'gender' for each end. A photo of the connections on the back of the kit might be helpful in that case.
