I have the Mogami cables built and initial impressions compared to the Canare cables with Neutrik are very favorable. The images are round, warm, and very musical. I am using these between a Schiit Gungnir Multibit DAC and Moon 700i integrated amp. Switching to a pair of AQ King Cobras terminated with RCA, shows the King Cobras are still very detailed and easier on the ears than the Canare. The AQ KC have a bit more flat image, tighter bottom and mid, not as round, some micro details are easier heard. With the Mogami 2549 with mids and bottom are slightly more round and full, still detailed but a bit more laid back in its presentation.
Overall I am pleased, for just under $30 in materials to build. I think a big part of the success is due to the Abbatron XLRs recommended by Duster. In my past experience building RCA interconnects I built 2 identical sets, except different RCA connectors and the difference is easy to hear, the termination makes as much difference as the cable IMHO.
I may try something different in the future, but for now these are working well in my system.
