January 3, 201412 yr comment_616427 I bought mogami gold RCAs a long time ago, and use them. I will need longer cables soon for new mono amps, and they need to be XLR. I found a 2 foot 'patch cable' from Mogami that I will use from source to preamp, but long runs are identified as 'microphone cable'. I want to be sure I'm not unwittingly running some crazy out-of-spec cords from my pinnacle to future power amps with microphone cable, as identified by Mogami. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002E1P30/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LNN2EQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 this is the same shit, right?

January 3, 201412 yr Author comment_616437 sweet. i won't have money for fancy dancy audiophile cables, the amps are going to take all my discretionary money for a while. Report
January 3, 201412 yr Author comment_616451 the mogami has the word 'gold' in it though. GOLD, JERRY! Report
January 3, 201412 yr comment_616464 Microphone cables are actually better, because they're designed for weak signals over long runs. Report
January 3, 201412 yr comment_616471 The key with this issue is just to not use them for digital XLR and you'll be fine. Report
