As I nearly have the speaker cable sorted out soon, I am looking into XLR leads to go between the PS Dac/Pre and the PS M700 amps. I am using at the moment a set of AF Audio ones that I purchased a few months ago from Andrew Foster, and yes, am happy with them, but just think I could do better. As I got a very noticeable change when I originally changed speaker cable from QED XT 40 via TQ Blue and then TQ Black II, I was hoping that the TQ XLR leads maybe a worthwhile and significant upgrade? What words of wisdom do the forum members have

The sweetspot in Chords range, and what I use, is Shawline. To my mind Signature and the like are just way too spendy for what they do.

I've a 1.5m pair of HiDiamond 0 XLR interconnects.
Excellent condition.
Very nice actually, but I can't see myself getting back into XLR cables.
£60 delivered.
I can get a photo up if you're interested.
You can have them on appro if you like.

You could try Yannis Tome. His cables have a good reputation and he has many price points.

An off the shelf pair of SAEC XR-3000 would be an enlightening experience IMHO.....For about £200, which is a ridiculous bargain.
I reckon there's nothing I've found that can hold a torch to them in RCA form. That's a lot of cable experience to compare against too.
I've got a 43cm pair of them here if you'd like to try them.

Thats very kind of you (again) will be looking for 1 meter set though, as MAYBE altering the position of the amps in the rack quite soon |
