$0.00 Summary:
I was surprised to see someone selling XLR cables of 1.5 meters in lenght for under 80$ and claiming that it was a high-end audio cable. So, I gave these "Ultimate Cables" a try. First, impression was the complete lack of bass: nothing under 60Hz. But, I'm a patient person and I gave it a 4 weeks and hundreds of hours of "breaking in" time. No change. Still no bass and low definition.
Clearly I was in front of a poor quality audio cable made of a grainy material. I decided to cut 16 inches to the cables to see how much it would improve and they did improve a lot: so, a truly grainy material. But still no bass... I could have asked for a refund, but I was so curious to know what kind of conductor was used to build these cables. And when I found it, it was so much surprising: an old 1990 stock of military grade cable made for high-frequencies (MIL-C-55021/2A THERMAX EC18U9-90STW) !!??? No wonder why there was no bass...
Anyway, this cable is made of 19 strands of silver plated copper and a silver plated copper shield. Very much different from what the seller claims (50% of 99.999% pure silver and 99.999% OFC).
Conclusion: don't waste you time and money with "Ultimate Cables", they simply don't know what they're doing.
