The holy grail of speaker cables in our opinion. Sold as a terminated 2.5-metre pair.
Mogami’s Flagship Cable
A highly musical and detailed cable, this is the ultimate choice for tube amplifiers thanks to its ideal impedance matching. It also performs exceptionally well with solid-state amplifiers, widely recognised as the OEM version of the $1200 Audience cable.
Its superior transparency makes it an excellent fit for solid-state systems, especially where clarity and definition are critical.
Fitted with Nakamichi banana plugs on both ends, as recommended by Mogami.
This is your go-to cable for systems that need to balance warm or dry tonal characteristics, bringing out accuracy, resolution, and micro-detail with finesse.
This Mogami cable was initially sold only to OEMs and classified as a high-end audiophile cable placed ABOVE its platinum-level offerings(The cable thickness will give you a hint as to which BIG brand is rebadging and selling this cable for over 1000$ – Audience being one example)
Mogami themselves have openly admitted that they produce very small amounts of this cable each year due to the complicated process and the various difficulties they face in the manufacturing of this particular cable. In fact, they have gone on to say that the process is uneconomical.
This cable is extremely rare and nearly impossible to source, except through a few OEM suppliers. Dealers quickly purchase whatever limited quantities become available. We ourselves were on the waitlist for over a year to secure our current lot.
Here is what the founder, Mr Koichi Hirabayash, has to say about Mogami’s top-end offerings.
We can write a whole lot about how highly resolving and organic this cable sounds. However, we think a buyer who has done his research already knows what he is buying. It’s suffice to say this is probably the best cable we have heard at this price and probably thrice over.
The thickness, construction and orientation of this cable makes termination difficult even for a decently skilled diyer. Hence we do not recommend buying this cable in un terminated lengths unless you can handle coaxial speaker cables and their terminations
For this reason we have only trusted factory termination using 24k gold bananas/ spades done with 4% silver in a controlled environment done by skilled professionals or alternatively terminate using an OFC copper rod conductor as prescribed by Mr Lew Hirabiyashi
NPAL –
I bought a pair out of curiosity to compare to my Chord Clearway speaker cables. The cable was very thin and light but boy it really gave the Chord a run for its money – they are that good!
