RE: Best Budget XLR Balanced Cables

Posted by Dave Pogue on December 1, 2016 at 05:39:55:
Nothing to lose UNLESS your source is wired "Pin 3 Hot" like my Otari tape decks. At least some Marantz gear are also wired Pin 3 hot. Since the Pangea people assume that everything is "Pin 2 Hot" and use their best wire only into the XLR plugs' Pin 2 connections, I had to cancel my order for some of these Audio Advisor cables.

If you're new to the world of XLR/balanced connections, what I just said won't make much sense :-)
