Anyone try Mogami Neglex for balanced interconnect

This seems to be a solidly engineered cable at a very reasonable price- 2 m pair under $90. While not one of the usual "audiophile" brands I wonder if anyone's used this and if so, what were your results? Does it stand up to cables costing far more? I've been under the impression for a while that with balanced IC's, as long as the cable is of good quality (always heard Mogami is good quality)and the connectors are good (ie, Neutrik) and the construction is solid, paying more isn't really going to get you anything.

Great solid cable. I use it all the time.

It's fine and good value as a starter cable but in my system, I found it ultimately a bit forward and not as refined or rich as Grover Huffman's cables, nor Audience AU24E.

I tried several Mogami in the beginning of my quest for great interconnects. I think it's a fair brand for the price.
Anyway i never audition a cheap cable doing better than an expensive one. Some high-end cable brands are a joke when some others are unfortunately great and (too?) expensive to reach the absolute...

I use the 2534 in a balanced tonearm cable (Jelco 506). It's an outstanding cable and bettered another balanced tonearm lead made with 24 gauge shielded Cardas wire.

I also use the Mogami 3103 speaker cable, another very high value cable. Under $3 ft. and it bettered and replaced Kimber 8TC which retails around $25 ft. here in Canada.

Well now I am using the Mogami gold between my tuner (md105) and my integrated (Pass Int-150). Solid results, good imaging, dynamics to burn. Do I sell my Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Ovals (2m) which in this crazy hobby isn't considered expensive but to me, it was the single most expensive IC I ever bought.
