    Amazing performance and Quality

    These cables are phenomenal I am using them with my Schiit Bifrost 2 running directly balanced xlr out to my Lokius balanced out to my Singxer SA-1 Fully balanced Class A headphone amp running my Audeze LCD-X's with a balanced 4 pin xlr connector. Running balanced gives me a lower noise floor and greater detail in my music. I was using generic xlr cables, yet I was still skeptical of using higher end xlr cables in my system. I am a huge fan of Audioquest products I am using their cinnamon USB cable to plug into the Bifrost 2. Man I was so wrong the noise floor is lower than I could ever imagine, slight nuances where appearing in all my tracks I have never heard before. I was so impressed I bought 2 sets to completely replace my current cabling. I understand that spending large amounts of money on cables is crazy but If you simplify want to optimize your listing experience than these cables are definitely worth it.

    Great But ONLY 1 Cable

    [Employee of bestbuy] The product like basically everything audiotech is great but there’s only 1 cable. This isn’t specified in the listing description, I spent alot of time searching for it or informative pictures. I found one picture on the internet that showed 2 cables, honeslty every other xlr to xlr cable has been 2 cables. The lack of a description is fustrsting because it just prolongs & wastes everyones time.
