Any appreciable difference between these two cables for wiring up
balanced & unbalanced gear to a patchbay? I suppose sometimes they'd
get used for mic cables also, but mostly for line level interconnects.
The Mogami shield seems easier to strip, which will be a real time
saver, but is this in any way compromising performance? Is it worth the
extra money? (I can get Canare L-4E6S for $32/100', & Mogami 2549 for
$50/100')

Thanks.

I find the Canare easier to strip, personally. And the Canare seems to
be more rugged (which is a non-issue in a patchbay install).

If you're going to do a patchbay install, I think you're better off using
a foil-shielded cable which will cost less.

Only in convenience and availability. If you're worried about cable
"degrading the sound quality" you've been reading Monster Cable
marketing literature too much.
