You feel the difference in the dynamic range between the two cables right away which is unsurprising given the difference in gauge.

The tonal balance is also a bit different. I find both quite smooth and the Medusa is a bit more low-end weighted and warmer than something like the EA Ares II 4-wire. However, the No 10 is even richer and thicker with a more vivid presentation and enhanced levels of sub-bass to mid-bass quantity. Vocals also had a bit more texture and focus and not as neutral to my ear as the Medusa.

The Medusa also has a touch more lower-treble presence for me but this is really due to the more neutral-sounding low-end compared to the No 10. You might find the timbre on the Medusa to be more neutral and a shade cleaner as a result.

Overall, the No 10 is a thicker, richer sounding pairing with the A18 and Dolores. It has a bit more low-end power, a bigger sounding vocal and generally a more vivid sound. The Medusa is also quite smooth but more neutral, with less low-end weight and a bit more lower-treble focus.
