Look forward to a report of its safe arrival. Good deal.
I personall don't think it is worth spending that much on cabling unless you've got that kind of money. Arguments abound and many say they can hear the difference...I could hear the difference too...the difference of the piggy bank missing about $350.
Hey, there are people that have a preference of the hard drives they use in the DAW because different brands sound different...
At the risk of being unkind and self-righteous I just thank that is absurd.
There is indeed great quality cabling, and there is bad quality cabling, and then there is a pretty wide field in between of good quality. Poor quality cheapy cables run the risk of poor solder joints (I've seen some really bad soldering in cheap cables) and wiring with a higher capacitance, but I've done real well using good quality generic Switchcraft type plugs on my snakes I've built and standard Gepco Gepflix multi-core cable...and its the black jacketed 24AWG stuff not the heavier (and mildly more expensive) blue jacketed 22AWG stuff. The wiring is consistent, the quality and shielding is good. I'm also totally comfortable using Tascam or HOSA molded plug snakes and I use a bunch of them and I betcha a bunch of the folks around here do without a second thought.
If you are really curious about it get a few feet of Mogami cable and make 1 cable and do an A/B comparison y'know? I'm not saying that Mogami isn't higher quality...I'm not even saying that something might not sound better using that type of cable, but I wouldn't say it is necessary. I'd use Mogami or equivalent cabling for mics before using it for line level snakes...that is where bad quality cabling is
really going to make itself heard and the very reason why I've got some mic cables I don't use anymore.
