Are you really going to bring the Mogami-versus-Canare argument here to the LUG? Or am I the one doing it? I associate Canare with remote-gig toughness and Mogami with better sound, but I'm sure that's a gross oversimplification. Maybe. But check into Mogami 2534 quad. Or, depending on his budget and interest in tweakiness, there are audiophilic brands to try. For a short run like that, some other stuff is affordable. Definitely of interest is the magnet-wire-and-air stuff from Anti-Cables: http://www.anticables.com/ Their speaker cables are a killer sound-quality-for-the-buck value, and their interconnects are... interesting. Certainly pricier per foot than the speaker cable, but clearly more labor-intensive as well. I thought some balanced Anti-Cables interconnects (not-)sounded darned good, maybe a trifle rougher than the new Audience e-series but at a far better price. http://audience-av.com/ I've always wondered about Meitner's cables, but haven't yet heard them. http://www.emmcables.com/ We haven't heard exactly what stuff the OP is plugging together; just how fancy it is would give a clue about how far to go toward cabling it optimally. -Jeff
