GoldenOne Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Just wanted to ask if anyone here has measured/compared the capacitance of any audioquest XLR cables to any other alternatives. I am using a GoldPoint passive preamp, which I adore, but cable capacitance is a factor to consider in my situation. Unlike many other companies audioquest does not list their cable capacitance so I don't know if they just decided not to add it, or if maybe they aren't displaying it cause perhaps it is....a little high? If anyone has any insight that would be great jolon 1 https://youtube.com/goldensound Roon -> HQPlayer -> SMS200 Ultra/SPS500 -> Holo Audio May (Wildism Edition) -> Holo Audio Serene (Wildism Edition) -> Benchmark AHB2 -> Hifiman Susvara Link to comment

If anyone has any insight that would be great Sorry, I have no insight on the C of AQ cabling, perhaps a request to AQ directly might help? If you are looking for low C interconnects to pair with your Goldpoint I would highly recommend made in the USA cabling from Iconoclast, and the do list relevant specs for every cable (L, C, and R). Not really much of a fan of AQ cabling here...

mav52 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 You can always give Blue Jean Cables low cap a try. https://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/shopbycable/1800F.htm The Truth Is Out There Link to comment
Speedskater Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Any cable worth considering has it's (2)R's, C & L along with a description of it's construction on it's spec sheet. Link to comment
cjf Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Just go Mogami and call it a day when it comes to XLR interconnects. They have all specs listed and have no sound of their own worth mentioning, at least that I can detect. Speedskater 1 My Audio System -Last Updated May 20 2021 Link to comment
