AudioQuest XLR capacitance


Recommended Posts

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

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...
