How do you rate your two speaker cables the Mogomi 4132 VS the w 3082? I made both of them and can tell much difference. Today, which do you think is the best one?

[@ChevyPickuphotrod]

Tried the wire. It's very good. I didn't use banana plugs.

[@classeirehall845]

Hello I made 2 Mogami speaker cables from Mogami W3082. They sound fantastic to my Wharfedale together with my Audiolab 6000A. Drove with Van den Hul clarewater before. So thanks for the tip.

[@michaelwright1602]

Fantastic work! Those look fantastic! I bought these assembled from Worlds Best Cables on Amazon. They do make a difference in overall sound quality. I went and swapped these W3082 wires out to try out those Mica OFC Steve Huff was saying are fantastic. Steve needs to clean his ears. The sound went from lively and dynamic, to a wet blanket. Mom was here, and asked what did I do to the speakers? I told her, and she snapped at me to put the Mogami wires back in. The Mogamis are the real deal.

[@michaelbentley-jy5rr]

Hey man!, you are so right about the mogami 3082 speaker cables. They are so detailed I would recommend these cables due to their transparency and detail. I bought them from Amazon. Thank you for your review.

[@edwinsantos827]

Thar, I had to stop and write this directly to you. Thank you!! Your content with cables is so refreshing and educational. Cabling is extremely important and yes there are those that say simply using a strand of wire is enough, but the reality is that cabling is a crucial part of an audio system. With that said, your series showing how to make the cables to me is invaluable and puts quality cabling available to those of us that live in reality and can’t spend hundreds of dollars for a single cable. I will purchase from you affiliated link as I want to support your content and just to let you know, I did follow through on building a set of speaker cables for my mains and the difference was noticeable and the cost was much much more bearable. Good job and once again thank you.

[@clarice1001nights]

I ordered the W3082 based on your recommendations and sound demos yesterday. I also purchased an SMSL -SU1 DAC and paired it with a WiiM Pro. The cable will arrive next week. I did consider making them as you suggested here, but am so busy and the price point is so fine on the links provided. Many thanks.

[@ThePupil]

How did it end up?

[@macejc101]

. Just built a pair. Compared to the W3104 I've been using, definitely more detail / resolution, however the sound stage and depth seem slightly diminished by comparison for some recordings/pressings. Really comes down to the source and type of music with these..

[@fon75]

Excellent speaker cable indeed. Thank you for the tutorial, please bear in mind the longer you make the split ends, the worse the cable becomes as a whole. They should be ad short as possible 😊

Can you use one W3082 wire for Red and another for Black with the same results? I understand you would be using twice as much speaker wire. Would this work and if so, would the shielding float on both ends or would you combine with the center strand to make a larger gauge wire? Thank you! and GO GIANTS!!

[@jkfotonet]

Thanks for your video. In Australia, we've great difficulty sourcing these components to make these cable. After some googling, I found a premade cable sold as is for $usd95/pair. The cost I would've save was only $25usd so its a no brainer to get them. cheers

[@LorenzoRitserveldt-u4g]

I used to have these cables. And always regretted selling them. Will buy them back, after all those years of testing other cables, because they are really the most natural sounding cables I ever had. At the time I had dynaudio's, and dynaudio sold coaxial speaker cables called OCOS, made in Switzerland. Never understood why they were discontinued. Mailed dynaudio for that matter, but never got an answer. It is even possible to achieve better performance when you double of tripple these cables and twist them together. Dynaudio used to sell tripple ocos, at crazy prices at the time. Because of the small diameter, and while other brands had 'fat' fashioned cables, dynaudio moto was 'fysics vs fashion' and they were right ! even today, some excellent things always remain !

[@giu_77]

thats a good question. i am struggling with the point of using the shield for 1 line and the core for the other. wouldnt it be better putting 1 cable for 1 line? as i am bi amping this means 4 times the invest. dont know if i should go with it….

[@Jerico42yutub]

Hi Tharbamar, You do a great job, I learn many things from you and I like that you analyze accessible products for the great majority of HIFI fans. Seeing your Mogami and Canare cable videos, I have wanted to manufacture some, I would like to make some to biamplify the speakers, taking advantage of the double outputs (A+B) of the amplifier. That you would advise me for this: use Mogami W3104, two cables per channel of W3103, two cables per w3082 channel or do it with Canare 4S11 or Canare 4S11G. I don't know, you still think it is not worth biamplifying, but for the price of these cables, it can be tested, without spending a lot of money. I hope you have a minute to answer, keep your good work and be happy. Greetings from Spain

[@Tharbamar]

In your case I would use W3802 for Highs and W3104 for Lows, Thank you.

[@eLicky]

I took your advice and purchased Mogami W3082 premade by Worlds Best Cables on Amazon, everything you spoke about the performance is true. No colouration, tight separation and coherency, very reference / studio like sound. I can understand some people may find it boring or flat, but it clicks with me and my system atm.

[@kovacsistvan1927]

I went for this cable after watching your video. Wow! The resolution and detail are amazing. I had some basic QED cables before, and I was okay with the sound until I heard my friend's ESS AMT 1. Those HEILs deliver crystal clear highs compared to my Altec Model 7 system. With these cables, the "veil" and slight muddiness are gone, and now I have to get used to hearing so much information. I was a bit worried about listening fatigue, but I turned the highs down a notch on the speakers and now it's all good ! Thank you for the advice, this is certainly a great deal!

[@Tharbamar]

I’m glad to hear it, thanks for sharing.

[@9Hoots]

Hi Tharbamar, are the AudioQuest banana plugs you used made of pure copper or brass? Do brass banana plugs affect sound?

[@Tharbamar]

Hi, AQ plugs are made of beryllium copper alloy, yes brass can make quite different in my system.

[@9Hoots]

Hi Tharbamar, much obliged if you do a video explaining the nuanced sonic differences you hear between your DIY Mogami W3084 and Canare 4S11 speaker cables.

[@Tharbamar]

Hi, I did in comment in one of my cable video but don't remember which video, so W3804 is slightly more transparent, 4S11 is a bit better midrange in my system, the rest is pretty much comparable, thanks

[@dougmurray7684]

Back in June 2019, you did a video "Making the best Speaker cable......" but using Mogami W3104 cable. Four 12 gauge conductors in one cable. This is what I use in my system. How does this new cable compare? Thanks again.

[@Tharbamar]

W3104 is great, this design is a bit more better in noise control, resolution and accuracy.

[@dmitryarseev8913]

I'll try again. In the video, to connect you use 1 cable divided into 2 pins "+" and "-" (central and screen). I want to use 2 separate cables (1 pair of a whole cable) for each acoustic unit when connecting. Therefore, I asked for advice if I put together the central core and the screen (by increasing the cross-section) in each separate cable, will it be normal for sound?!

[@Tharbamar]

That won’t be great idea if you want most clear sound, according to Mogami having coaxial conductors is main benefit of it but if you’re worried about the size, this cable is highly capable of handling high current bridge monoblocks driving to maximum load without any problems, I’ve seen it many times.

[@9Hoots]

Hi, wanted to know your opinion on attaching ferrite rings on speaker cables.

[@Tharbamar]

Hi, it should help to reduce interference if that is you’re experiencing but you have to attach it at one side only either - or + side by the speaker.

[@9Hoots]

@@Tharbamar Thanks!

[@rambler3080]

Did you also try to make jumpers using 3082 with shield as negative conductor? Using just the core conductor negates the effect of draining noise but maybe it doesn’t matter with such a short cable. Thanks

[@Tharbamar]

Yes I’m using 3082 as shielded jumper wires for my speakers, it’s great improvement over any other type of cable including OCC cables.

[@edilbertolazaro772]

Hi Tharmabar, do you recommend doing the speakers jumpers with the same w3082 wire? do you have any video on how to make speaker jumpers? thank you

Thanks for the video! I noticed that in an older video you preferred Canare (4s11) over Mogami (W3104). In this more recent video, Mogami (W3082) is your preferred option. I'm trying to learn a bit about these cables. Could you explain why your preference changed? I imagine these Mogami models (W3104 x W3082) have some differences and now you find the latter even better than the Canare (4s11)?

You can twist it to remove the chrome part.

Ordered W3082. Tell me in your opinion if you use when connecting not 2 as you have in the video, but 4 separate wires and, for example, to increase the cross-section, you can increase it simply by connecting the central + screen?! Or be sure to do a twist of the central with the central and the screen with the screen in each pair, respectively. Thanks.

Thickness is nothing to do open sound, thickness and veil sound is more to do with geometry of cables, resistance and capacitance.

1) The 3 "probably" references in the final half minute of the video may (or may not) have impacted on viewer perception. 2) If the cable links the amp at location "A" and speakers at locations "B" and "C", are the environments between A⇉B and A⇉C relevant? For example, room lighting, modem, television, PC, HVAC, refrigerator behind adjacent wall? If so, is speaker cable construction capable of mitigating issues? 3) If in a non-scientific, subjective listening test, a listener identifies a enormous difference in performance between cheap and expensive cables, is that perception capable of justifying the additiinal expenditure?

Hello, thank you for this video... I know that it is 2 conductor but can you bi-wire with Mogami 3082? I was planning on assembling a set of bi-wire speaker cables with Mogami 2972 (4 conductors). Thanks in advance for responding.

[@Tharbamar]

Hi, for Bi-Wire you will have to do double run, thanks

[@tonysco]

@@Tharbamar Ok, thank you... Based on your exprerience would you do a double run of (2c) 3082 or a single run of (4c) 2972? Thanks again in advance for responding.

[@Tharbamar]

I would pick 3082 personally.

[@tonysco]

Ok thank you @Tharbamar ... One last comparison please, double run of (2c) 3082 vs single run of (4c) 3104?

[@Tharbamar]

I use both 3082 will give you more details and clarity, 3104 will be better in bass. There is no clear winner all depending on the system synergy.

[@m.marcom]

Hi mate. I use Canare 4s11 . Is this Mogami better ? Thank you

[@Tharbamar]

Yes, it is in more details, thanks

[@robk5745]

I wonder if you could do two pairs of these to increase the gauge for higher current situations. Obviously leave the out pieces together and inner pieces together

[@Tharbamar]

Yes it should work great that way too.

[@kattarhindu451]

Tharbamar, what diameter is the Grey PET sheathing on the 3082? Is there a 3:1 sheath under this PET sheath?

[@Tharbamar]

Oh I don’t remember the size exactly please see in video description. Underneath is only pvc jacket, thanks

[@kattarhindu451]

The diameter of the Grey PET sheath is not mentioned in the description, Tharbamar. Much obliged if you can recollect the sheath's exact mm and share it

[@Tharbamar]

Wait, you’re talking about Y area? If that so I am reusing original PVC jacket from W3082 cable the I cut off to make the assembly.

[@kattarhindu451]

@@Tharbamar no sir, I'm asking about the entire Grey-colored PET expandable sheath you put on the 3082. Guess they come covered with stock black PVC covering.

[@Tharbamar]

@@kattarhindu451 If so it is in the video description, BTW it's off white not gray.

[@dilbyjones]

Thank you

[@drazencanjuga9130]

would you be interested to make set of cables and put them up for sale on any platform that you chose, I personally would need (2 )-8' cables

[@Tharbamar]

I do not make them for sale.

[@mortlach186]

What wire did you use to make those jumpers on your speakers? And how does it(w3082) compare to the Mogami W3104 cable? By the way , I finished making both pairs of Mogami w3104 with Viborg copper Banana connectors and Canare 4S11 with CMC SWISS Pure Copper Bananas that are more of the style of the Audioquest's and Parts Express type of banana. I haven't listened to the Canare's yet but the Mogami surprised me, really surprised me as I replaced my Kimber 8tc with WBT expanding bananas($55.00 * 8 of them). The sound transformed my ATC's, I was shocked. Now I want to redo the ends of the Kimber's; I'm wondering if I screwed up the connections. But they're a pain in the ass to strip all those ends so I purchased a German made Knipex automatic stripper to hopefully simplify the job. At this point I might go ahead and pick up some w3082.

[@Tharbamar]

Hi, all my jumpers are made of W3082 using just core conductors connected. I like W3082 more than W3104 personally.

[@ChicagoRob2]

Wait till you try RCA interconnects made with Mogami 2549 microphone cable. One wire hot, one wire return, with the shield connected only at the source. Superb neutrality and transparency. Total cost for a 1-meter pair, including Rean Neutric connectors is less than $15. They smoke my $375 Tara Labs RSC Prime interconnects.

[@mortlach186]

@@ChicagoRob2 Now those Neutrik connectors are brass. Have you thought of using something with copper contacts like WBT WBT 0144 Gold Plated Locking RCA Plug? They're inexpensive enough but my concern is all the additional mass of the metal.

[@ChicagoRob2]

@@mortlach186All of my Neutrics are copper-based, as I stock-piled them years ago. I’ve built 2549 interconnects with WBT, Audioquest, Nakamichi, and Switchcraft connectors. All sound great and I would say the copper-base, gold-plated Switchcraft are probably the best bang for the buck.

[@scotthastings9139]

Would these work well for speaker jumpers ?

[@Tharbamar]

Yes, that is what I use.

[@paolobonfanti1194]

Out of curiosity, which power cable do you use on your electronics? What are your favourites? Thank you

[@Tharbamar]

PS Audio, Oyaide, iFi. My favorite is my own shielded design, I have tutorials videos for that.

[@mariusalexe7619]

@Tharbamar would you recommend these over Canare 4S11? which one would you choose from those two?

[@funky_bottoms8675]

I think I asked you this question before. Do you make the cables for sale? If yes, how can I purchase them?

[@Tharbamar]

I do not sell them, thanks

[@MrSplit57]

Hi, thanks for the video. Searhing for this Mogami cable, I came across Mogami 2804 - almost 10 times more expensive, claiming to use PCOCC coper! Do you have any experience with this cable? Is it worth of price?

[@Tharbamar]

Yes, it is very good cable but don’t let the price fool you, W3082 is better cable in performance.

[@sharan6816]

Which Mogami cable would you recommend for the Denon PMA 2500NE and Tannoy XT8f?

[@Tharbamar]

For that combination I would recommend Canare 4S11G.

[@sharan6816]

@@Tharbamar What other cables would you recommend for my setup? They might be a bit more expensive.

[@hppsimulation9532]

Hello Thar, evidently the W3082 is out of stock on that link. Do you have any other source?

[@Tharbamar]

Hi, performance audio is also great place to get them, thanks

[@theoreet]

are there some bi-amp alternatives from this brand? Or need 2 cables to make a bi-amp set

[@andretraylor7418]

Hi, have you ever tried Gotham bulk cables? If so, what what was your take?

[@Tharbamar]

Yes Long time ago, it was ok.

[@andretraylor7418]

@Tharbamar Okay, thanks!

[@Tharbamar]

That you’ll have to check with Mogami.

[@stevenloy5514]

How do you compare your Mogomi w3104 cable to this Mogomi w3082 cable? I followed both of your videos and made both of them, and I’m now sure I can tell the difference. What do you heard differently in them? Which do you now think is the best one?

[@Tharbamar]

W3082 is a little more in resolution in my set up, I’m using both of them in my system, thanks

[@reshmooreable]

Can mix canare4S11 speaker cable with mogami coaxial cable for better sound?

[@Tharbamar]

If you’re BI-amping I would say use 4S11 for bass.

[@reshmooreable]

@@Tharbamar thank you for your quick reply.

[@rakeshg4125]

@Tharbamar In Mogami do we have W3082 and Mogami 3082 NEGLEX OFC Co-Axial ..Both are different?
