The Chord Mojo 2… It’s got some big shoes to fill doesn’t it? The original Mojo was pretty darn good, and now that you can get one for around $200 on the used market, it made me wonder how much better the new Mojo 2 is. Is it worth $700? What does it improve if anything over the original? How does it compare to the Cayin RU6 (one of my favs)? The Mojo 2 is good, no question, but how good?
Here’s some affiliate links to some of the accessories I mentioned in the video:
