Is the Mogami ex-id a quad cable? If not, it's probably not fair to compare a high capacitance quad cable to a low capacitance dual conductor. Also, a dual conductor 110ohm cable, that is designed to pass information in the megahertz is going to sound completely different than most any analog counterpart. There is serious and rigid requirements for the build of the digital cable. Not sure if a blanket statement regarding everything brand X to everything brand Y is valid. It's like comparing a Trident 65 to a Trident A range and saying that the A range isn't up to snuff because the engineer heard the 65 and didn't like it compared to his API. Just my $.02.
