Thank you @John_Siau for posting this nice demonstration, bringing back into my mind why I purchased Mogami Neglex 2534 a couple of years ago:


Used it for my active speakers - where it may not be really necessary, depending on ones Installation...

However - using this cable for my custom made phono wiring made a significant difference! RF noise was reduced by 7db at 50Hz (mains) up to >20dB at higher frequencies. Especially the nasty USB packet noise around 16kHz I could not get rid of is completely gone. Whow. Should have tried this earlier instead of buying the most expensive twisted pair mic cable (Sommer Cable Albedo) for my phono application.

Starquad wiring between turntable and phono preamp is highly recommended for everybody using a balanced connection!
 
Well - there are some, and it makes sense to use the best wiring when using them.
