mogami interconnects

I use the Mogami w2549 for unbalanced interconnects and I think it sounds fantastic. Great detail and extension at both frequency extremes and smooth, 3-dimensional sound. Very transparent sounding without getting thin sounding.

I use one conductor for the signal, the other for a ground and I also attach the shield at both ends. For some reason, I tend not to like interconnects that use multiple large conductors for the signal. I probably wouldn't like any of the quad cables and I wouldn't count anybody's experience with them as being relevant to how the w2549 cable sounds when wired as described.

I had Stealth Indra and Stealth Sakra, bought some Mogami Gold........and not long later the Stealth was for sale! I have also compared it to Analysis Plus Golden Oval, which is also now for sale! The only cable I have tried so far that I like better it TEO Standard.

The Mogami is amazing at any price, the fact that you can get a pair balanced 6' cables for $100 is insane! I sold my Stealth and put $10K in my pocket........actually, I bought an MBL6010D with the money which gave me better bang for the buck than the Stealth.

I have been in high end audio for over 25 years now, and owned many components, ic's, power cables, tweaks, etc. The Mogami is amazing, period.

I've used Mogami for mic cable for years...so I figured a pair of 'em from Guitar Center would work from my Kavent pre balanced to to my beloved Forte' 55. Balanced gold Neutrik...and man...unlistenable, and I'm not a cable snob but apparently they needed to break in and I wouldn't play along. It was THAT bad...harsh treble for days. Got my money back the next day. Bought a pair of Ebayed AQ Diamondbacks and they sound fine (even better after a couple of weeks).

Well, one should really be patient with cables. Normal break-in time is at least 100 hours often more. Purist Audio says 150 hours for their cables.

While we are discussing value for money cables, I found the Crimson Musiclink to be an out and out performer beating every cable I have tried till date. I have tried Mogami as well though I dont know the model number because it was a loaner from a friend. The Crimson for $360 has become the last cable in my system for a good number of years to come. Give them a try guys you will be surprised how easy is it make an extremely good cable. No shielding, no mumbo jumbo.
