Wish I had tried Mogami ICs sooner. Mighta saved a bit of money. A pair of XLRs are sounding very good with less than 15 hrs on them running between DAC & pre-amp. Excellent extension of highs and lows. Very transparent sound with impressive detail & imaging that support a big sound stage. Not harsh, not grating (not so far, anyway). Decent amount of mid range warmth. Great value. Better to my ear than the BJC Belden 1800F balanced ICs I got in around the same time (~40 hours on those). The Beldens don’t have the same clarity or tonal neutrality. They seem to have a bit of a bump in the lower midrange/upper bass. Bass is fatter. Treble a little rolled off. Warmer than the Mogamis but at the expense of clarity.
