Almarg, one other thing about the xlr cable shootout. These cables are going from my newly acquired Jensen input transformer into my Aesthetex Atlas amp. All were about the same length of at or just under 3 feet long.
All three were very good sounding and I could live with them all. The Mogami just was more open and smooth. It only cost me $40 to build!
The last xlr cable is a Neotech 3001 cable of the same general capacitance as the Mogami. The Neotech was built with $70 top of the line Furutech connectors. The retail cost of this cable is around $400. It is very nice sounding and compares nicely to the $40 Mogami.
The point of my post is how well the Mogami 2534 cable compares for so little money. I realize this is only in my system and in that position. I have tried other low price cables in the past and have never liked them as much as expensive higher end cables. So this is a first for me and thus my post.
All past cables have been single ended however. It may be that RCA cables are much easier to detect sound differences. I suppose I may also need the wax cleared out of my 50 year old ears.
