1m XLR interconnect wanted

[Marco]

I agree that the point has been somewhat lost by some that this is a wanted ad for an XLR cable, posted in the classifieds section, and therefore not grounds for an in-depth cable discussion - or indeed one on ABX testing! Therefore guys, could we please restrict the input here now to solely offering appropriate cable recommendations to the OP?

That said though, a lot of what Oliver has stated is good advice and mirrors my own experiences with cables, where I've found that poor connectors can hobble an otherwise good cable. However, I wouldn't lump Neutriks into that category, although they can undoubtedly be bettered, simply because being constructed from brass is, IME, a limiting factor.

Anyway, let's leave that one there, folks, and get back on topic!

There's a difference between poor quality, wobbly connectors and conductor purity. The first falls into the category of 'common sense', 'good quality' components and the other, the subject of great debate. Conductor purity will simply affect conductivity by ridiculously minuscule, immaterial amounts. It's easy for anyone to think and then state that they can hear a difference. ABX testing proves otherwise. There will always be audio 'psychiatrists' who like to debunk ABX testing citing nebulous aural/cerebral issues, I get that. No matter, at the end of the day you can either demonstrably hear the difference or you can't.

Apologies for distracting a straightforward, well meant request for advice into a debate. In my defence, I maintain that I gave advice, honest advice. Anyway, I'm out now.

Sorry, Steve, I know your heart's in the right place, but which part of this message didn't you understand:

Please understand that the only person who gets the last word here is me, and when I say 'let's leave that one there, folks, and get back on topic', I mean it. Therefore once you've read this post, I'll be deleting yours above.

The next person to thread-crap this wanted ad will be out for a week.

Marco.

After something relatively high end. I have pure sliver litz in at the moment. Not looking for £thousands.

Let me know what you have.

Cheers, Tim

Tim, did you see this for sale thread?

Thanks all for the advice. I have some hand made ones on the way from Vince, but will consider another set. I did see that advert. I already have some expensive silver litz stuff and was hoping to try something else.

Hi Tim,

I have a rather brilliant idea (Modest) for a rather special set of cables. If you want to finance the experiment and keep them once built, I'll make them.

All I'm willing to mention is "Graphene"
