Mogami wire vs Signal Cable inter and Linn K400

Hi everyone,

Tomorrow I will be swapping all of my Signal Cable Analog One interrconnects out for some KAB American Recorder Technology Jazz interconnects (made with Mogami mini quad wire). I found a few good recommendations for the Mogami wire and I've also read that Linn uses Mogami wire for some of their applicaitons.

I plan on posting a follow-up in this thread once I've given the Jazz cables a try in my system for a week or two.

Also, I currently have Linn K400 in my system using it as a bi-amp config. I was wondering if anyone has compared the K400 to Mogami 2921 quad speaker cable in a bi-amp config?

TIA

Bummer there were no replies to this thread. Here is an update on my cable quest. I ended up sending back the KAB 2431 Jazz cables (some good imaging and bass but the highs were quite rolled off plus the build quality was not the best). I also tried some Knukonceptz eKs and while they are built well, the locking RCAs are more of a pain than they are worth and I feel my system lost a good deal of musicality with them, so they will mostly likely be going back.

Today, I received a custom ordered set of cables from Pro Audio LA. They are Mogami 2549 (heard many good things about this cable) with the shielding floated at one end and soldered to the negative ground on the other to make them directional. I also had the cables terminated with the Neutrik ProFi RCAs. Looking forward to trying these out tonight.

I will post an update soon...

First impressions from last night. Cables sounded great. No rolled off highs, very organic with large and deep soundstage and a very nice ranging bass punch. More later...

Sbrownnw,
I say, try the Signal Cable Silver Resolution before you settle down.

I had Signal Cable Analog Ones throughout my system and they were pretty good. I bet the Silvers are a good step up but I have never heard an interconnect image as well as the Mogami 2549. Plus the Silvers are twice the money (and then some since I need some 4,5 and 6 foot lengths) and do not have as good as RCA connectors.
