About this deal

I have now upgraded the AMP to a MF M3i and run a M-DAC+ and have tried a couple of cables Digital Chord Clearway and Tellurium blue Q digital and the Tellurium is better although cost a fair bit more. The Chimera Labs people say they have spent years trying out different shielding and found that the sound has deteriorated with all (they give possible reasons for this). They also say they have never once encountered an environment/situation where a shielded cable was needed. Here's the deal. Balanced XLR type cables, when used properly, have great noise immunity (as he said). They accomplish this noise immunity through something called common mode rejection. Inside the balanced cables are two signal wires (where an RCA style has only one) and a ground. When something hits both signal wires at the same time (like noise and hum might) it can be said that this is a common signal and it will be rejected. Thus the term common mode. Make sense? Van Damme studio 8 channel DB25/DSUB to XLR loom (4×female & 4×male) where female XLR’s are inputs and male XLR’s are outputs. Made using Van Damme green series digital AES 110ohm cable and Neutrik connectors. For full specification please use the link below. The first thing we do to a pair of analogue interconnects is run them in by connecting them to our reference system. In our experience, their impact on a system can change over time so we make sure they have a couple of days with an audio signal running through them.

Kane this is Paul from PS Audio. I would have to disagree with the last poster about shielding. While he is correct that balanced XLR cables are inherently better suited to get away without shielding, saying they don't require shielding and that in pro applications they are not shielded is a bit misleading - although I am sure his intentions were good. My response is not meant to start an argument on cable performance, so I will focus on my opinion about shielded cables versus unshielded cables. I am still looking for two pair of quality 2m lengths for two sets of monitors if anyone has anything I may be interested in?You could also speak to a dealer to see if they've tried different cables during demos and have found any that work particularly well with your amplifier. High quality leads for interconnecting devices such as microphones, mixing desks, home AV systems, sound cards, monitor speakers, amplifiers, etc. For all those doubters out there stop bleating about a multi million pound industry being a load of old cobblers, if it was then by now those that spend vast amounts of money would have just fitted bell wire because if they don't here an improvement then they would look else where, that's because they can afford to.

However, on having another look around, it appears that the PS Audio cables are half the price of the Chimera Labs (well in the US anyway). The Silver (Transcendence) PS Audio cables are about the same price as the Chimera Labs'.
