hakuzen- can I ask what XLR wires you have tested if any? I did a small review comparison of XLR- would love to know how you can possibly compare so many cables that is quiet amazing and I thank you!

thanks for your appreciation.
i guess you mean cables with XLR jack (XLR 4 pole, or dual XLR 3). the only source with such output in my inventory is THX AAA 789 headphone amplifier (balanced output, XLR 4); most of my sources are 2.5mm/3.5mm. purchasing a pair of quality XLR 4 to 2.5mm was my solution, rather than buying new XLR 4 ended cables. i haven't bought any of these, and haven't tried the cable of your link with any jack either. so i can't compare it. i'm generally satisfied with purchases at lunashops, but i prefer better guarantee and trusted quality from other shops now.
for my Ananda, i'm happy enough with cable 175, 2.5mm jack, and the adapter when plugging it to THX 789. iirc, there are comments about this kind of adapters in this thread or in cables thread; got mines at taobao, but guess you can find good ones at Haldane shop in aliexpress.
when i get time, i'll add the CEMA electro acousti silver+gold+palladium alloy cable to my database, comparing it to my actual favorites. it will be cable 195 you can talk with the seller if you need XLR 4 jack for any of their cables.
also, cable 188 (super copper) is pendent.
do you suggest any links to your two tops? actual favorites. it will be cable 195 you can talk with the seller if you need XLR 4 jack for any of their cables.
also, cable 188
I just asked the shop whether they sell the cable with a nickel/rhodium plated jack or the gold version. They informed me that they aren't sending out the nickel/rhodium versions of the cable.
these are hypothesis:
different wire manufacturers?
palace series uses a kind of oem up-occ wire, probably made in taiwan, in line with my favorite cables from CEMA.
palace class uses different kind of wire and sheath.
yea, it's been a while, and i haven't tried that cable. zero time due to my job, mainly.
i could measure it at least, and add it to the database, together with some pics. but about sound differences, i should unblock my ears (recurrent wax blocking) and train them before making sound impressions.
forgive me, i'll try to find the time to do this soon
Probably the worst measuing cables in the history of headphones are the stock HD 25 steel cables. Not only do they measure up to 8 ohms, but both sides of the cable aren't even close to equal. Capacitance is huge also.
If there was ever a case for aftermarket cables, the HD 25 is the poster child.
That said, the HD 25 is designed for (real) DJ use and it seems durability won over ultimate sound quality. I can attest that they sound better than they have any right to. Member @jfunk has posted that it looks like the most recent version have gone to copper cables.
