Long XLR Interconnect Cables

I have not tried Mogami but I have a lot of Canare which I suspect is close in sound. I use the Canare on stage for mic’s and etc. and it is very good; especially for the money. Maybe the Mogami destroys the Canare, but I can tell you my balanced WyWires and even Clear Day Cables are so much better than Canare. If you want a nice, warm sounding cable that does nothing really wrong the Canare is it. I find its much more of a tonecontrol over higher priced cables. To say all balanced cables will sound the same on a true balanced, properly designed circuit is wrong. If this was true then we’d all be running pro audio cables. Just because studios and musician use these cables doesn’t mean they’re the best; they use miles of this stuff and they’re hard on their gear so it’s more about budgets than anything else. They’re still good cables and they get the job done just fine but there is a difference. I’m guessing there will be a noticeable difference between the Acoustic Zen and the Mogami, but I have not heard either so who knows. See if the manufacture will send a set to try as most will.

My Dad actually prefers his later generation AQ Lapis and Diamonds over his KCAG. All his cables are single ended, but I took my CD balance over to his place to see how it faired against his Diamonds which run between his Sonic Frontiers preamp and ARC amp and we both felt the Clear Day was superior. Sure a lot of it probably had to do running his equipment balanced. The AQ Diamond may be an older cable but it's no slouch; still a very good cable by any standard. The thing is, the Clear Day new is cheaper than a used AQ Diamond or Lapis any day of the week. I'll probably let my dad use my extra CD balanced now that I'm thinking about it. 

The CD balance cable is a great cable, especially for the price. My father has a KCAG which I have used much and I think the Kimber is a fine cable too but yes they are pricier. His KCAG is single ended so I'm not sure it's a fair comparison but I feel maybe the KCAG is a tad smoother than the CD single end cable which I do own several pairs of as well, but when I switch to the CD Balanced cable I would say it's a step up over the Kimber. I will add as much as I really like Clear Days and Paul is a great guy, I just bought a WyWires Silver balanced cable and I hate to say it but I prefer it on my preamp anyway. The WyWires has everything the Clear Days has but is more natural and throws a bigger and deeper stage. Don't get me wrong, the Clear Day balanced cable is a tuff cable to beat unless you're spending 2 -3X the money. I'm using the WyWires on my amp and the Clear Days on my CDP. I'll put it this way; I now have an extra CD balance cable that I don't have a home for now but I'll keep because it's a fine cable that maybe I'll have use for later. 

I have the the double shotguns too with Paul's bi wire jumpers as well. Great cables.
