Straight XLR vs XLR to RCA adapter

Wolf are you OK? I did LOL about the connector cable but in truth it may be just as effective as some of the other fantastic cable "solutions/inventions."

Wolf, I recall your mention of that negative experience with the Mogami's in the past. In fairness, it should be said that many others have reported very positive experiences with that cable. I certainly don't doubt the accuracy of what you perceived, and I have no idea what the explanation might have been, but it should be said that your experience was atypical of most or all others that have been reported here.

Mechans, yeah, he's definitely ok :-) As you appear to realize, and as he has frequently done in the past, he just brings some much needed levity to these parts. :-)

HEY...I was being serious...and yes, Mogamis usually are fine as I've used their mic cables for years. My turntable cable is weird reddish Japanese neglex and seems fine. It was odd...the Mogamis could have been made on a Wednesday, or infected with some strange Guitar Center karma, or dare I say (and who the hell says "dare I say?") COUNTERFEIT MOGAMI...made in a dimly lit sweatshop by nefarious cable fakers.
