Long XLR's: PAD Venustas versus Mogami


Does anyone have experience with changing a long Mogami interconnect with something like PAD Venustas? I'm wondering what the gains would be.

I'm currently auditioning PAD speaker cables (Proteus Provectus actually) and like them. I've read a lot about the PAD lineup, but don't know what the Mogami characteristics are (I don't have a 40' cable of something else to swap it with :-))

Thanks in advance.

New windshield wipers really make my car drive better. I recently took my car in for new windshield wipers and it drives so much better now. They also put new tires on when they did that and I think they may have done something to the engine too. Windshield wipers are great, they just need to be replaced every couple of years or so.

Sorry Inna, I couldn't refuse that ;-)
My experience with coupling versus de-coupling varies based on the room/floor/subfloor and speakers.

When I had my listening room in the basement with a concrete (carpeted) floor, coupling worked very well.

My current room incorporates a floating wood floor system and de-coupling works better in this room. I run Wilson W/P speakers mostly, but others as well. Though I am contemplating the use of a largish marble/stone slab for its mass/weight and placing the speakers on this. Have others tried this approach and what has their experiences been?
