EMO XLR or Chord ?

[someone]

Hello i am just wondering how mutch difrence it can make between XLR cabels. will a Chord Chorus2 www.chord.co.uk/products.php?pg=104 (there is a XLR version) be better then the EMO XLR cabel ?
The Chord is 550$ ( can get it for 350) or can i get the same sound from the Emotiva XLR 35$.
so will a cabel 10 times more expencive give me a mutch better sound? (i will have XMC-1 XPA-2 or UPA-1 and speakers are kef XQ40)

IMO do not waste your money, you likely will not hear much if any difference versus a $10 XLR or indeed a $10 RCA cable.

You can get a whole UPA-1 amp for the cost of that cable - think about that for a minute.

The Emotiva cables are nicely dressed, so you pay a reasonable price for the "look of it" versus other cables at silly prices. If your cables will not be visible, you don't even need to buy nice looking ones.

Edit, Check this out:

Neutrik/rean connectors and €5 for 1m (not much more for longer lengths). I got some of these and they are very well made as are the RCAs.

It's a "mic" cable but should be OK I think.

If you want the "dressed" look, just buy a roll of fancy cable sleeve and some heat-shrink and you can make them look pretty.
