    The Mogami is good and I prefer it to the Klotz.

    So a shielded twisted pair is the usual method employed, I use Neutrik gold contact XLR's so nothing fancy there.

    I may try the Sommer "CarboKab" though I can't find it on their website and also some Mogami 2534. 1m runs of each to compare with the Klotz and Van Damme I already have. The connectors will cost more than the cable so its just finding the time to make em up and try them.

    I thought I was happy with the Klotz, till I experienced a very different sound from the Van Damme, so I am now curious what the other two will bring to the table.

    Thanks for the links guys,
    I want to try and finalize the interconnects prior to voicing my speakers.
    I've made the final choice for discrete op-amps for the active crossover and power amps, though some are still on route from the States. I want it all in place to do the last tweaking of the attenuators, prior to replacing them with fixed resistor networks.

    But for a bit more, you get a better cable, and then a bit more than that, you can get a better cable etc.

    Trouble is, for every price point, there are cables that will work well with your equipment and those that work less well.

    It gets quite expensive trying the many options as you work up through the ranks, as recommendations may not suit.

    I'm keeping things reasonably simple (Cheap) for now, as I am in the process of upgrading my Power Amps (x2 Stereo or x4 Mono) and my Pre/Dac.

    I am already getting the best sound I have ever had in my room, the equipment upgrades should take me to another level. So cables will no doubt come back into the equation, to make the most of the changes, though I am not one for spending massively in this area.

    There will always be arguments about cables but bigger differences are made elsewhere. It then just becomes what is worth paying for and what us not. Personally, I believe that cables from Klotz , Van Damme and Mogami all do a highly cost effective job.

    Meanwhile, a friend and I used some mains cable cut from a lawnmower and could hear no difference to the £400 per metre cable he was previously using in his high end system!
