I have recently bought many pro audio XLR cables Mogami 2549, Mogami 3173, Canare L-4E6S, Gotham GAC 4/1 Ultra Pro and Belden 1800f. I believe that there are no absolutes in Audio. What works in one system or between two components will have different outcomes. You have to try for yourself in your system. With that being said these are all excellent interconnects for the price and they do have different tonal balance, dynamics, soundstaging etc. I settled on Blue Jeans Belden 1800f between Pre and Amp and Mogami 2549 between Dac and Pre.I just inserted Cardas Clear Reflection and I have to say they create a very dense sonic picture. What you prefer is up to your ears.

Pine tree audio makes incredible cables. All hand made. Made to order. My entire system is Pine Tree audio cables.

What look for is great cable and great connectors
