Most affordable and clear sounding XLR Cable?
 
I'm looking to purchase a Beachtek XLR Adapter for my VX2100 and right now I only have a Mogami xlr to 1/8. I've liked the mogami but am open to other options for my next cable purchase. I'm looking for a cable at least 10 feet long btw.

Check out Redco.

You can basically build your own cables at a great price.

Gosh at 10 feet, just go to Guitar Center and buy any 10-15 foot XLR cable they have. At that length, I'd be flabergasted if you could hear any difference between cable brands.

If you've convinced yourself you've just GOT to have the best, go to Marketek and order some premium cables - but whichever you buy, they'll work about the same and with proper handling and care, either should last you a decade or more.

Good luck.

I really like Mogami cable too, but man is it pricey. Most of our cables are AudioTechnica and they've been holding up fine. I have a few that have been coiled improperly so many times they don't make good coils any more though. I also really like Belden cable, and there's always Canare Star Quad. Our Canare cables don't coil as nicely as Mogami or Belden does unfortunately though.

Oh, and remember, there's no difference in sound quality between all these cables. What you're paying for is reliability, ruggedness, decent shielding, and useability (i.e. holds a decent loop when coiled).
