Matyk Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Hi guys, im thinking of buying a loom of the chord xlr signature cables. I currently run chord epic xlr. Two pairs. Dac to pre, pre to mono Blocks. Is there anyone here that have these cables and can give sonic performance differences? I really like the epic. But can't stop thinking if signature would be a nice upgrade. 4 grand isn't cheap, and I'm not rich haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matyk Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Yep @JohnL I'm just way too sold with chord. They work in my system like magic. I've had alot of brands. But I've never tried a cardas loom What's the retail for 2 pairs at 1 meter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnL Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) $3.5K a pair (XLR) from here https://addictedtoaudio.com.au/products/cardas-clear-interconnect I would say they are negotiable though. If you went used you would be looking at around $2K a pair at most......maybe less https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/223277658273 If you were in Melbourne you could have borrowed mine for a listen........and vice versa!!!! CARDAS also do the Clear Reflection which is a bit cheaper ($2K) and offers a bit more "warmth" over "clarity"......... https://addictedtoaudio.com.au/products/cardas-clear-reflection-interconnect Edited December 16, 2018 by JohnL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matyk Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Damn! Would have loved a listen. What speakers do you run? I'm not sure if my speakers can justify 5/7 k of xlr But i can just imagine how good your imaging is!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnL Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) Pair from Pre to speakers is 2 mts!!! Could only use a 1 metre pair from source to pre with a XLR/RCA adapter Edited December 16, 2018 by JohnL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matyk Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 I wish people that say cables don't make a difference were correct! This is costing me a leg haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
