I would categorize the quality/sound characteristics as full bodied and neutral (not necessarily lean or warm). I think one of the key characteristics in the design of the cable is the "Star Quad design". I've also used straight wire musicable II (level 1) which I believe is the same type of cable design http://www.straightwire.com/interconnects.php and also sounds great.
However, I think the version of this type of cable from blue jeans cable is preferred and perhaps "better" because of the connector (Neutrik NC3-B) https://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/balancedaudio/index.htm
I think the key ingredient here is the star quad design and the fact that you shouldn't have to spend thousands or even hundreds to obtain it (assuming the length is 3 feet or so per cable, and 2 are needed).
