Specific question choosing Duelund vs Mogami for affordable interconnect


I realize everyone has their favorite, I’m looking at two: Mogami (2549, possibly others models)and Duelund 20 GA dca w switchcraft RCA plugs.
Modest interconnect from Onkyo C 7030 to Rotel RA 1070 integrated. 1 meter length.

Yes, I’ve read and reread several threads on this, didn’t find anything focused on the above, just opinions on analog vs digital, balanced vs single end etc.

Anyone use(d) both, care to compare?
Also, do either require a ’ break in" period to exhibit they’re most musical presentation?
Thank you

Heresy alert: depends on your electromagnetic environment.

If you get good cel phone reception, or there are radio or TV transmitters nearby, chances are that you have a lot of electromagnetic radiation in your environment. Some cables may act as antennas to pick this up.

This interference can be attenuated by a woven shield, by the tight winding of the individual wires, or the configuration of more than two wires. Penalty for this is higher capacitance, which can reduce the high frequency audio signal. For short runs of 6 meters or less, this penalty is insignificant; indeed, for many systems it is preferable in that it reduces high frequency glare.

I did not try to reinvent the wheel. I use shielded, 4 conductor microphone cable in a star-quad configuration: Mogami 2534 or Canare L-4E6S, terminated with ETI plugs. Very cheap and very effective.
