I was working on an order from Markertek.com and I noticed that Belden also produces a Star Quad cable like Canare. I was wondering if anyone has ever used both and had a chance to compare the two.The Belden cable is .48 per foot and Canare is .36 per foot.Here's some specs:

Belden 1192A Star Quad:

Quote:

Non-Paired- Microphone and Musical Instrument Cable * Number of Conductors: 4 * Total Number of Conductors: 4 * AWG: 24 * Stranding: 42x40 * Conductor Material: SBC - Soft Bare Copper * Insulation Material: PE - Polyethylene * Outer Shield Material: TC - Tinned Copper * Outer Jacket Material: PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride * Plenum (Y/N): N * Applications: Microphone and Musical Instrument Cables * Four Conductor Star Quad Low Impedance

I know Canare Star Quad has 21 AWG wire but the rest of the specs look similar. I was wondering if anyone has ever had the chance to compare the 2 cables and could remark on how they sound compared to each other.

I was wondering the same thing. Is there an audible difference between the two?

Not sure but I can say that Canare Starquad is a very nice cable, especially over longer runs.

I have noticed a difference between mogami and canare/belden, but canare and belden are the same in my mind...not counting the thinner version of the canare...

I prefer Mogami Neglex 2534 Quad Cable over the Canare for Interconnects. To my ears, it sounds better and it is much easier to work with.
