Recommend me XLR interconnect for new PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC
I just ordered a Stellar Gain DAC/Pre-amp, and will need 1.5 meter XLR interconnects to go to my Krell power amp. I don't want to spend too much, hopefully not over $500, but then again, this interconnect needs to be open and dynamic sounding. Any suggestions appreciated.

Wireworld Eclipse will meet your budget. That’s what I use with great results.
Ivan will take care of you.

Thanks, I've been looking at WW Silver Eclipse, but they get up there in price. Will check out the Eclipse.
Also, I found out that Silnote has a big sale going on now. Looking at their Morpheus Reference Classic XLR, which can be had for $345 for 1.5 meter. |

I ended up ordering Silnote Morpheus Reference Classic XLR 1.5 meter for $345. Wireworld and Audio Sensibility were just too expensive for 1.5 meter. Although less expensive than those others, I believe and hope that the Silnote are a quality cable. I do know that they were employed to great effect at RMAF. We'll see how it sounds, perhaps compare some Wireworld at a later date.

The PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC and Silnote Morpheus Classic XLRs have now been up and running for a few days. I have my AVR connected to an analog input with my High Fidelity CT-1 interconnects, and have configured that input for Home Theater Mode. I connected my Oppo UDP-203 to the Stellar Gain with a Blue Jeans Cable 6 foot coaxial cable.
PS Audio say that the unit needs a couple hundred hours to fully break in, so I do not want to make any fast and hard judgements just yet. However, when using the home theater feature on analog input 2, I feel that I have lost a bit of clarity, compared to my previous setup, which had the AVR front L/R analog inputs running directly to the power amp(via High Fidelity CT-1 interconnects). Now, the CT-1s are running to analog input 2 on the Stellar Gain. I'm not sure if my loss of clarity is occurring in the Stellar Gain itself, since it does have a class A analog stage, or if it is because I am now involving two interconnects, rather than one. I'm going to continue to break in the Stellar Gain for a while, but I suspect that the Silnote interconnects are not as clear as my High Fidelity CT-1s. If the clarity doesn't improve pretty soon, I think I'm going to try a set of Wireworld Silver Eclipse XLR. |
