When you invest in quality audio equipment, it is important to take care of it properly. Not only will doing so extend its life, but if it is organized and stored properly, the setup process will be so much easier. The best way to store an XLR cable is to first wrap it properly using the over-under wrap technique to avoid twist and then secure it with a tie. It can then be hung or put in a storage container and stored in a dry place at room temperature. An XLR cable is a multistrand cable meaning that inside of that robust looking outer sheath, there are multiple signal cables that are much smaller in diameter relative to the outer sheath.
In a balanced XLR cable there will be a hot and cold signal cable, and there will also be a ground component. The ends of these are what is soldered to the male and female XLR connectors on either end of the cable. The aim when wrapping the cable is to not introduce any stress on these inner cables. You also want to ensure that the cable is wrapped in a way that makes it easy to uncoil and free of kinks or twist. Although this is a quick way of doing it, it should be avoided if you want to extend the life of your XLR cables.
You should also avoid trying to wrap a cable with one end still plugged into something. Especially with a loud source like a guitar amp. Daisy-chain originally means completing a loop, as in a garland of daisies. This is probably what Neenja means. There's a much more colloquial meaning too.
Although, it's often used these days to mean exactly what you are thinking of. I think I'd rather have one foot cable, instead of ten 10 foot cables joined together.
I exaggerate to make my point Moderation is the key to everything. I'd simply try it and listen critically before recording or performing with it. Like they say, if it sounds good then it is good! Rick Sutton. A quality xlr has a very large contact area and I've hardly ever had a problem in the 40 years I've been using them. I do give them a little light rub down with D5 every few years or so just to be nice!
Actually, a loop 1,2,3,4,1 is not a daisy chain. A daisy chain is branched like 1,2,3,,6,7,,9,10, You can daisy chain 75 volt speakers but you would never want to loop them put them back on the source. So let me see you smile again. Where do you get this definition? This looks more like recursion. Can any EEs confirm? This is helpful, as the core signal wires are inherently lacking the cable shield inside the XLR shell, and so by connecting the shell to pin 1 the risk of interference pickup is minimised.
The downside of this construction practice, though, is that if the XLR shells touch something earthed like a radiator, wet grass, etc they will almost certainly create an unexpected ground loop with all the attendant hums and buzzes.
So just be careful where you lay the XLR joint. However, the potential downside of this arrangement is that interference pickup could become a problem, as the cable wires inside the XLR plugs have no effective shielding.

I think the only downside to doing this--as opposed to just buying a longer cable for a given function--is that it adds just one more weak spot to a stage set up: one more spot where a connection can come undone if, say, someone steps on the connection-point.
A little gaffer's tape or something similar can help to make that less likely, though. Joe F. I have daisy chained 3 or 4 together for special events with no issues at all. That's the beauty of low Z balanced. Is there a disadvantage? Then the lazy builders would need to shield their control and pickup cavities.
It's amazing how much money you have to spend to get a guitar that is properly shielded, assuming you don't do it yourself. To come out with a balanced signal from passive pickups would halve the already low signal, as it splits the signal and runs the two halves at opposite phases from each other. All times are GMT
