The Zeus z1 RCA/XLR interconnect.
Our absolute best interconnect, the z1 is a no holds barred balanced cable from Germany that has been tested against the likes of Siltech,Bertrum,Audience,VDH Kimber and without a doubt has won hands down.
A tall claim, we accept but it only shows our faith in this cable
We are so confident that we offer a free trial to serious buyers for comparison with any cable they may have.
The cable has flat frequency response across the audio spectrum, with a filled out midrange, smooth highs and weighty and tuneful bass.
The resonant strokes of piano keys, wailing violin notes, caterwauling sax notes, the twang of the acoustic guitar, the grate of bowed cellos, various percussions, massed strings and massed trumpets in heat – all sound quite palpable and present.
Good attack and gentle decay allows one to see deeper into the mixes and brings a naturalness to the music (acoustic instruments have characteristic decays that can be heard when played live, especially at close range).
Dual Silver plated conductors with an ofc copper shield creates a lively and dynamic music experience, akin to a concert hall. The realism focus and perfect timing of this cable is incomparable.
Because of an additional grounding conductor the OFC served shield is only used for shielding, which leads to an even better electrostatic screen. This guarantees a pure signal transmission and a homogeneous sound – both for analogue NF connections such as from a preamplifier to a power amplifier and from source to amplifier
Availble both in balanced termination using the best black gold neutrik XLRs or in an unbalanced format using terillium copper RCA with Carbon fibre accents,we have not skimped on the quality of termination for this excellent cable.
Solder termination is done using a precision International MFR Cartridge System and Mundorf Silver solder.
Stock cable is 1.5 m pair
The Olympus MK2 Interconnect RCA-RCA
This slender cable is a custom variant of the MOGAMI 2803 supplied to oems and features a Teflon dielectric with a central OHNO copper conductor and a pure oxygen free copper braided shield. It is widely belived that this base cable is the same as the one used in very revered Audience AU 24e interconnect (retail 950 $ and having stunning reviews on stereophile and 6 moons )
This can be goggled to your heart’s content – where some international forum members actually stripped of the jacket to prove the similarity of the core cable
The Olympus is resolving cable yet doesn’t highlight or suppress any part of the audio spectrum. It has good extensions at both the bottom and the highest octaves, with a filled out midrange. The highs are sparkling, and the bass has heft and nice tonality.
In conjunction with its good resolution, it is remarkably good at resolving micro dynamics, nicely filling up the music with the ebb and tide of musical flow.
An enthusiastic attack and gentle decay makes music sound quite natural with well-separated voices in the lateral space.
The cable is Available in unbalanced configuration using beryllium copper rcas, with the Solder termination being done using a precision International MFR Cartridge System and Mundorf Silver solder.
An upgrade is also available using the world renowned silver harmony eichmann bullet rca plugs that takes the cable to a new level of excellence
Stock cable is 1.0 m pair and beryllium RCA
However 1.5m may be ordered as well
Mogami 2803 RCA/phono interconnect
The Mogami 2803 has been evaluated as the world’s highest resolution and rich detailed cable in the world market. The cable works well when a vivid original sound image, without any coloration to the signal, is wanted.
Excellent dynamaics coupled with a well separated, deep and wide soundstage are the characteristic traits of this cable.
The mogami 2803 is well known for its excellent resolution of microdetails,good attack and a gentle decay
It is without a doubt the choice of almost all studio professionals and recording houses owing to its neutrality and detail retrieval and finds place in reference home audio systems.

Has to say about this cable
MOGAMI 2803 and 2804 PDF
Since the only degradation of a 2803 cable will be caused by the RCA phono plug used. this must be carefully selected. The key point of the plug lies in its size to keep metal parts, other than cable itself, as short and small as possible.Hence we offer to use The Silver harmony Eichmann bullets with this cable for our premium clients who want nothing but the best.For the budget conscious we advice on using the Amphenol connectors
For perspective,
The followinig RCAs have been directly compared by Joshua Singson against the Mogami Bertram optima Cu (retail 990 Euro)
Crimson Audio- Music link (retails at about $430 for a 1m pair terminated with Eichmann Bullet RCA plugs and an ) – NOT to be confused with the more common Chinese manufactured Chord Crimson!!!) and
Audio Art IC3 interconnect (retail about $120 for a 1m pair).
The mogami has come out on top every time

The cable is offered in both unterminated lengths and factory terminated finished interconnects (1.0 m pair ) with high quality Amphenol termination . Please note that the nylon sleeving shown in some photos is for illustration only and the actual cable comes with no sleeve
Why should I buy factory terminated ??
For decades, all Mogami cables have been crafted by the same long-time employees, supervised by chief engineer and owner Koichi Hirabayashi.

Positive aspects like Warmness, Openness, Realism, etc comes to mind immediately. Though we would describe the bass region a bit a little one-note at times (Very un-Japanese style I should say.) the lows are prominent, weighty and punchy.
The cable is offered in both unterminated lengths and factory terminated finished interconnects (1.0 m pair ) with either high quality eutectic link RCA plug ( black) or high quality ‘copper colour’ RCA ( silver) termination depending on current stock.

Mogami 2549/2534 interconnect RCA or XLR
The MOGAMI 2549 is Natural Open, Warm and Wide sounding interconnect that can be used in balanced or unbalanced configurations.Like all Mogami gold series cables,the conductor material of the 2549 consists of high-quality Neglex copper and is a perfect fit for professional Neutrik XLR connectors, offering lossless signal transmission.
The Mogami name is synonymous with high quality and is used worldwide in the best recording studios. With a diameter of only 6mm / 0.236 inches, this cable was designed for excellent sound in a durable package. Using high purity copper shielding ensures very low noise, while the high purity copper center conductor conveys ultimate tone. The cross-linked polyethylene dielectric is heat resistant and will not shrink as quickly as pvc. This Mogami cable is designed to prevent microphonics with a conductive carbon impregnated polymer sub-shield placed under the shield conductor.
Note: The carbon impregnated polymer subshield should be removed prior to soldering on connectors. Otherwise there is a potential for signal degradation.
Product Description
