Cardas Clear Light or Mogami 2549 XLR


The setup I'm putting together is XLR from an Ayre KX-5/20 preamp through a Marchand balanced passive high-pass crossover to an Ayre VX-5/20 amp.  The impedance of the crossover is 1K Ω.  I have the Cardas and Mogami cables.  Either preferred?  I've previously used 3' Cardas between the preamp and amp, but these are 7' cables.

Since you have both why not try yourself and decide which suits your system best.
I'm using 5' Cardas Clear Lights from the preamp to the high-pass and 7' Clear Lights from the high-pass to the amp.  The sound is excellent.  I'm going to try substituting 6' and 10' Mogami 2534s, because it would make a neater installation, but I don't want to reduce sound quality.
I’ve had both and as good as the Mogami sounds, it sounds ‘right’, I feel  the Cardas brings a little more in terms of space and presence. Maybe even a touch more clarity.  Used between Classe CP 700 and either Pass X150 or Sim W5.3.
I tried the Mogami hoping it would compare favourably so I could move some equipment with longer xlr’s.  The Mogami were very good as I mentioned earlier, but the trade off was not worth it to me.
