Will a high quality xlr cable improve the sound?

[Nothgiel]

Yeah, we wouldn't want to stop giving our money to hucksters, however would they feed their families?

That’s a hypothetical assumption. They need to earn their living by one means or another.

Just because it is factory made and looks the grade, poor solder joints and reversed polarity can happen.
If you hear a difference between cables look deeper.

That wasn't a "hypothetical assumption", it was sarcasm. And you were rightly the target of it.

I currently have some ordinary cheap xlr cables tied to my Cyrus phono pre amplifier and McIntosh 7200 Amplifier, will a high quality xlr cable improve the sound?

Who said the subject was saving money.

What bugs me about trolls is not just that their provocations strain credibility, but that they don't bother to punctuate properly either. It's disrespectful on multiple levels.

What bugs me about trolls . . .

It's not the trolling per se, it is the apparent lack of control of the membership to resist responding to obvious engagement-bait discussions—that seem to be occurring more frequently—which should be allowed to whither into the background. I mean, seriously; how many times does one need to respond to 'Hyde Park Corner Loonies' before the realization sets in that it's a waste of valuable time?

Or slow moderator collapsing into appropriate catch-all thread?

I'd rather we not put the onus entirely on @amirm or @RickS to police every posted discussion. We can do our part to help out by showing a little restraint and just not posting. I know that may be hard for some, but with all the other stuff going on in the world, there are other, more important things to be concerned about.

Fair point...

Locking this thread is the least I can do.
