    Default Wtd Balanced Interconnects

    I would like to try using the balanced outputs of my Auralic Vega G2.1 into my preamp and so I am looking for a reasonable pair of shortish balanced interconnects (XLR to XLR). Ideally a pair of between 0.75 and 1m in length.

    At this stage not looking for anything too exotic or expensive but I would like something reasonably decent.

    What have you got lying around?

    I remember entourage upgraded mine so I have a spare pair of Mackintosh own brand XLR cables. They are very good. Transparent and clear. I think I paid £125 for them second hand. Yours for 80.

    I've got a spare pair of Audioquest Diamondback XLR cables (0.5m) but they may not be long enough for you.

    Do you want multi strand or solid core. If solid core have a look at DNM cables. You’ll also get answers to any questions you might have.

    I might be interested in the Shark and Chord cables depending on price and of course John (sondekker) having first choice.

    Thanks for the responses received so far. I do not have any particular preference between multistrand or solid core although I do need a minimum length of at least 0.7m.

    I have received a variety of both public and private responses across the three forums I regularly use and so it is my intention to review all of the offers and suggestions put forward probably on Sunday with a view to deciding which way to go.

    Thanks again.

    John

    Thanks for the various offers and suggestions. My needs are currently on hold having been offered the loan of a pair of expensive balanced IC's by the dealer I purchased the Vega G2.1 from in order to compare against my single ended pair.

    Should I decide balanced is my preference then I may revisit the various offers and suggestions I've received across the various forums.

    Thanks again.
