Audioquest vs Mogami XLR Audio connector cables


I had recently purchased a McIntosh MC152 amp and I used my 6 year old Mogami XLR cables to connect it to my preamp. I decided since there was a 1/2 off on Audioquest Columbia cables to give them a test. I always thought Mogami cables were of good quality and was not sure what to expect with the Audioquest cables that were pure copper as well. 

In short there was a more open sound...more clarity with the Audioquest cables in a very good way. Little details were heard better and I have to say I am happy with my choice. I know some say there are no differences, others claim they all sound different, but with my setup, there was an improvement. If I did not like them, I would have returned them. I still have 60 days to decide if I want to keep them but they are staying.

Whatever works and is affordable.

As far as your nickname goes maybe you should try Revelation Audio Labs.

How much were the AQ jobs?

I am assuming that they are the ones with the battery biasing deal?

After reading this review of the Audioquest Columbia cables I found to agree with him. REVIEW: AudioQuest Columbia Cable - readargos - Cable Asylum (audioasylum.com)

The bass was a little light when I first got them and I found the high end to be a little bright and a tad harsh. I played my CD player for 2 days/night in a row and already the bass is tighter, and the top end has calmed down a bit. But the open detail sound that lacked with my Mogami cables are still there.
