    Thanks for the writeup, glad you like your gear 😉
    Personally I am not that fond of the Pioneer OEM stuff like headphones and monitors, but everyone has other ears and thankfully we are not all the same hehe.

    Guess money is not an object 🙂

    Sersiously though (general note to all readers), buying gold-plated connectors in PA environments is not only overkill, the gold (over time) can react with the other metals used in (non-golden) connectors and can lead to oxidation (rust) which can lead to signal deterioration. And since no other gear in PA uses golden contacts, not even big mixers …

    So gold on gold is good, gold on anything else, not so good.

    Nice looking cables though, and easily recognisable in a crate with 30 more “normal” ones.

    Our advise is to buy brand cables with good connectors (go for Neutrik if you can) and you should be good to go for PA purposes.

    Indeed, while those cables look nice, I would not have gone with that.
    Also while cord wrapped cables are best in HiFi, they are actually less resistant when trampled on, where a thick silicone shell is better. Yes those also will get worse over time with UV light, but then PA cables have about 2-3 years in them before they need replacing.
    This is why I mostly go with Cordial cables, CAM or CPX I think with their excellent Neutrik connectors and good shielding.
