Is Stealth Sakra IC is really better than Indra?

Rgs92...........that's a great question!! I actually don't know if I could put my finger on it. I would say there may be a little more flesh with the Sakra cables! I have heard someone describe the Valhalla as having less body than the Indra, but great detail and imaging, that may nail the Mogami Gold! I have actually changed my system for the better since then, especially with the addition of the MBL6010D.........and I would love to do another comparison so as to really nail the subtle difference! I do know another fellow who sold his Tara Zero after trying the Mogami........and he was running an MBL system worth over 100K. In our experience, the difference was just not worth the money. This week I will be comparing Analysis Plus Golden Oval agaist the Mogami, so it will be interesting to see if the results meet my memory. I would love for others to try this! Heck, for the $100 it's worth a try!

In audiophile world 5% difference is the difference between heaven and earth. Stealth and many other cables may be overpriced but it takes time, money and effort to design and build the cable that would give you those 5%. And very possibly in some systems it can be 50%. Mogami is designed for pro aplications so it should be okay especially balanced but it is unlikely to be great. Pro audio is rarely great, it is just more or less clear and very loud.

Alot of what you are saying is true Inna! I myself have on occassion spent thousands to get that 5%!! In this case I sold my ic's and put $10 000 in my pocket, so I guess I have decided the 5% is not worth 10 grand to me! Right now I am considering spending part of that $10k and getting a Tripoint Troy, which will give me way more than 5%.

Who knows, when I run out of places to reasonably upgrade my system again, I may reach for that 5% and end up with the Stealth in my system........but right now I'm getting more by investing that in other areas, such as a preamp or Troy! As for my friend with the Tara Zero.......he had $30K in a very long run of ic's.......now that's alot of jingle for 5%. I find the Mogami gold gives me a very, you are there, sound, much like the Atmasphere preamp did. (On that point, Ralph Karsden of Atma recommends using Mogami with his gear) Alot of other cables were giving me their flavour.....which isn't all bad of course, and in some cases much prefered. Everyone has that decision to make.

Well said Bullot

Well, Ralph may voice his amps using Mogami cables, and also he may of course want you to spend more money on his amps than on cables with possibly better outcome for you. I could probably call it a fair and subtle advertising and not a bad way of doing business. No objection from me though others might disagree. If I thought about getting those amps I would certainly first try them with Mogami and then compare it to, well, Stealth and Purist.
