Which version did you try Oliver? There are a number of different ones. I used GAC-2 V1 (p/n 10421) in the make-up, with Neutrik plugs, and I don't perceive any midrange bloat. I just find it a very clean, clear, neutral sounding cable. Could be (and likely is) system-dependent as to results, as many things like this can be. But to Jamie's original question, all the coax cables were noticeably inferior to the twisted-pair versions. There was a much bigger difference between coax vs. twisted-pair, than between different versions of twisted-pair. Things started getting pretty subtle in what I was hearing between, say, a Belden vs. Mogami vs. Gotham twisted pair.

Yeah, I hear you. In my system, it's the best I've tried. I know you've been rolling a lot of cables lately, some from pretty hard-to-find bulk stock, so you have a lot more experience and more builds to compare. For me, I decided for reasons of sanity that the Gotham was good enough and that I could happily live with it. Otherwise I'd go nutso trying to find cable nirvana. My system has other more important things that need attention and tweaking.

There's more than one version of Gotham GAC-2. And there is GAC-3 and GAC-4 to consider as well.
