Benchmark Studio&Stage™ StarQuad XLR Cable for Analog Audio

I have no completed my full loom of Benchmark cables between my DAC 3B, HPA4, (2x) AHB2's and Martin Logan ESL 9 speakers. The latest acquisitions focused on setting up vertical bi-amping of my speakers with 2 XLR Y-connectors, and extra 3 feet pair of XLR connectors and an extra pair of spekaker cables (Speakon and locking bananas). Having had the Benchmark cables in my system for the past year and a half, I can honestly say that the cables are true to their heritage - no nonsense, extremely well constructed and maintaining an absolutely silent path for the music. Did I mention value for money? As with any and all Benchmark products, I recommend the cables without any hesitation. For me this is my end-game setup. Just wish that Benchmark would develop a streamer and a phono stage to complement the range. BTW, I needed an extra golf shirt - so the black is quite fetching and a good fit! Now only if Benchmark will consider royalties for influencers . . . . . .

I wasn’t really expecting an improvement in sound using these short XLR cables. I was wrong. Improved spacial sense and more there. Nice work. Thanks

Very well-made cables. I can hear an improvement from my old cables, which were well regarded at the time I bought them although not super expensive. It's not night and day, just a bit more clarity and less glare.
