I'm using a 25' run of Mogami Neglex Quad 2534, aka Gold Studio for Microphones, between my r2r and preamp . I want to audition the Mogami AES/EBU for the same app, just for fun. It's very good stuff. :-)

XLR cable for basic beginner
I second AQ King Cobra. It was much more expensive when it was called Python. AQ, to stay competitive, moved production to China and lowered prices renaming cables. King Cobra XLR, I had before, might be not as refined as Acoustic Zen Absolute XLR I have now, but is very good for the fraction of the cost while keeping similar neutral tonal balance. |
I too use Mogami Gold Studio xlr cable. A good source is B&H Photo Video. For unbalanced cables, I've been pleased with Markertek's terminated Mogami 2534 cable. Sam (C1Ferrari) -- FYI, my understanding is that the main differences between the Mogami 2534 and their AES/EBU cables are: 1)The AES/EBU cables have somewhat lower capacitance, which would only make a difference if cable length is long AND the output impedance of the component driving the cable is high. In that situation it would provide a more extended upper treble. 2)The AES/EBU cables have somewhat higher inductance, which shouldn't make any difference in a line-level interconnect. The higher inductance and lower capacitance are a consequence of the AES/EBU cable's higher (110 ohm) characteristic impedance. 3)The AES/EBU cables do not have a star-quad configuration, which might mean a slightly increased susceptibility to noise pickup.
