Mogami 2549 (Standard) vs 2534 (Quad) etc


HI

Thinking of getting some xlr and rca interconnect cables made Alot of people have suggested Mogami for their lack of coloring and sending exactly what the source outputs. just not sure which mogami  cables..there are soooo many variations.. anyone got input one these?

I have cables made with W2549 and others with W2534. Both pair have the same Neutrik connectors; both are 25 ft long.

Five years ago, when my HF hearing was better, I thought that sound through the ordinary mic cable (W2549) had SLIGHTLY more HF response. Maybe.

I'd use W2549 for most applications. If in an area with extreme RFI, the W2534 quad cable, which has better interference rejection, would be better. But for ordinary applications, even running a line-level audio cable near a power cord, there is no need for a quad cable.

+1 on the 2549 wire, I buy it in 500ft rolls and make my own XLR cables and RCA cables in what ever lengths I need, I use Nakamichi RCA plugs NO556 from Nakamichiplugs.com and for XLR connections I use Neutrik NC3FXX female and NCEMXX male connectors from parts-express.com

Eric may have meant to say the ConneX Cable BL-Ag Interconnect Cable, which is pure silver and pretty good sounding, particularly for the price.

I use Mogami Gold XLR. I just made an A/B comparison to Audience Front Row XLRs. What I learned is that the Audience is better, but the Mogami's are incredible for their price. You need to pay at least $1K for cables to better them. Even then, you will really, really need to critically listen to hear a difference.
