Mogami Gold cable

Good stuff.

Agreed,when comparing to average/good quality $25 cables.
I have all Mogami gold for the studio but sometimes need to get out the extra Rapco(rental quality)cables and frankly,if there is a difference,i can't hear it.
I can hear the difference when the singer is having a bad day though.

Can't say the Mogami sounds better, but I once I brought some tracks to a studio for mixing and once loaded up in the PT session they pointed out the excessive noise of what were midi orchestral tracks. WTF? So the engineer lent me his Mogami cables, had me go home to rebounce those tracks...which came back crystal clear.

Granted, I was bouncing those tracks through generic store brand cables...didn't know any better. But I've taken apart enough cables to see that the Mogami ones are shielded better than most. IMO.

I use the Mogami's and I don't think twice.

Given your info,i think you did something different the second time or the cables you used the first time were wired incorrectly or defective in some way.I have recorded many tracks with typical store-bought cables and never once had noticable noise.
The difference between a $60 mogami cable and a $20 dollar store bought cable is just not that noticably different.
