Black Octagon BOS1X - XLR Interconnects




          This may come as a surprise but we don't just make and sell 3.5mm interconnects. This is the BOS1X XLR Interconnect cable. It comes in a stereo pair at 1.5 meters as standard. We're gonna let one happy customer do the talking as well as a few pics. :) Below is a short write up by Julian who bought a pair;


"This is my second purchase of cables from Black Octagon. 

Product: Black Octagon BOS1X XLR Interconnects

First 10 hours is just sucked.......now.......after running it with cable cookers and playing it for 100 hours.......

Music all there is....frequencies from high to low are balanced.....speed and transient good.....transparency....oh my....this cable did whack some other huge brands flat. My musical stage was extended with this cable.

Cable stays silent even with encounters with power cables and other cables.....some of our other tested cables wasn't as good....

Equipments tested on:

Amplifiers: McIntosh MA7000, Audio Research VS110 + SP17 pre, Audio Research DSi200

Sources: McIntosh MCD500, Audio Research Reference CD8, Audio Research CD5

Speakers: Sonus Faber Cremona M, Sonus Faber Amati Anniversary

Interconnnect Cables: Various Brands

Speaker Cables: To maintain the equivalent sonics.....the speaker cable remained the same.....XLO Reference 2

Power filters from Quantum Resonant and power cabling by Nordost Blue Haven


Verdict: So is the BOS1X high-end? In music and sound......YES. How does it perform against top ends like Transparent Reference and MITs? Obviously it doesn't match up, its a different ball game. Transparent brings even more tonal and musicality. But would you go wrong with these BOS1X's? No...you won't....probably regret not getting it. Equipment matching.....so far no issue with different combination of pairings."
