The "artifact" or whatever it was that sucked using the Mogami XLR cables was just with them specifically as other XLR cables sounded fine, so hey…it’s still a little mysterious. Also, after years of using XLR cables in pro audio I am absolutely in the camp of them being a way better idea if only in the mechanical aspect of the plugs, although they do sound exactly the same as RCAs in my Jolida (I checked, and figured yeah…not really a balanced input)…they lock on and don’t move so mo bettah in my view. I use RCAs also of course, but they seem in need of a better design like phono plugs…phono plugs are something from a 1920s switchboard, and are a pain in the ass and a lame design really, but I use ’em all the time of course since I mix shows and play guitar and somehow the things work mostly. I like Neutrik Speakon plugs also, and they’re made in Lichtenstein.
