Strange. I use XLR cables to handle low level microphone signals under
arduous conditions, and wouldn't dream of paying more than about a fiver
for the parts to make a 2 metre one.

Perhaps you're playing music that wasn't professionally recorded and is to
a much higher standard?

You're looking for more than that :-)

No. I didn't know what I was doing when I bought the stuff and the shop
I bought it from was run by people, who, naturally, were entirely happy
to be selling incredibly expensive cables.
