Mogami Neglex W2549

I think my Veritas Magnus balanced cable is broken in—at least close to it, if not fully.

In direct comparison on my main system, the Veritas renders a smooth, liquid sound and tames shimmery treble and sibilance—not completely, but a significant portion—without compromising detail. This really confirms that a stereo system can be tuned using cables.

Very importantly, I want to point out that the cymbal sound is quite right, clear and natural, on my system for the first time with this Veritas cable.  Martha Tilston voice sounds whisper-sweet. 

On the other hand, the Mogami 2549 interconnect is very neutral and honest, serving my warmer second system quite well. Using the Veritas XLR on my second system results in a slightly overly warm sound to my taste.  For ten times less mony, I have no complaint and no one should.

@zavato Mogami will not approach the performance of Acoustic Zen. I’ve tried that. No bueno. Same goes for Blue Jeans. Waste of time. I keep a set of bluejeans RCAs and XLRs as spares. 

I’ll add that for tuner these cables may be fine. But not for dac to pre and pre to amp
