    Guys, I have an unavoidable 15 metre run in a hifi chain. Long story. Two options, either a 15mtr pair of XLR cables from pre to power OR 15mtr pair of speaker cables power amp to speakers. Either choice will be reasonable quality (£500 to £1000 budget)
    I am leaning toward xlr because I think signal loss will be better than a 15mtr speaker run due to the electrical current consistancy.

    Any views?

    The choice is easy .. absolutely 15mt XLR cables from preamp to poweramp!
    Just buy Mogami Neglex 2534 Neutrik XLR Balanced cables and you won't spend more than 50£ GBP

    Just contact Arvind Ranga at puresonics.com.au ( [email protected] ) and ask him for a pair 15mt. Mogami Neglex 2534 XLR Neutrik

    agree here!

    No need to spend a thousand pounds. Spend less than a hundred and have a holiday in Chamonix!

    You 'll be surprised about the Mogami quality and neutrality
    Latest cable we compared to the Mogami has been the MIT M1 RCA .. kinda 2200 € retail here .. and the Mogami even RCA won hands down in comparison
