Did a single blind experiment with jazz loving neighbors. Mogami Sound Runner vs. Wireworld Eclipse.
Monoblock amps, Focal Profile speakers. Theta Casanova as the source.
I asked them to listen for imaging, midrange and treble. They could not see which cable was attached at any given time, and I did not mention brands or prices. Went back and forth a few times.
Results were really interesting:
We both agreed about the quality of the sound differences.
We disagreed about "better."
Mogami had a better, wider tonal balance. Wireworld had better imaging, and darker.
I preferred the better imaging, neighbors preferred the tonal balance.
Best,
E
