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.

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.

Ralph Karsten, owner of AtmaSphere, recommended these cables to me, and I used them for a while between Theta DAC Pre andMA-1 power amplifiers. They were very good. This year, I tried a number of different interconnects. Although I didn't compare directly to the Mogami, there were a lot of interconnects that fared worse relative to my refrence (some MIT cables) than the Mogami. I ended up with Kubala Sosna Emotions, which I found noticably better than teh Mogamis, but for a huge difference in price. Mogamis defintiely one fo the best bang-for-the-buck cables out there. Emotions were the best cable I heard, but not on a per-dollar basis.
