on the digital cable A/B ... must be jitter, if everything else is the same.

Do you mean their analog? or digital?

For analog, Canare Quad is dark and low-mid muddy compared to Mogami ez-id, which is lean but nice and open on top. Canare is best for live use, where rejection is more imporant than sound quality. It's very low noise.

Cardas 2x24M is better than both Cardas or Mogami and not too much $. Clean lows, big mids and nice highs, but it's bulky. Above that the prices get prohibitive for most things. We use Acoustic Zen silver analog and digital cables on all the main mastering lines, and Cardas 2x24M copper for mic lines in the tracking room.
