Apparently star-quad does really well is in "live sound" applications 
(like sound for film or video) where you have mic cables in the 
presence of high EMI (phase control lighting dimmers running thousands 
of watts of lighting or whatever.)  As in - it is pretty good at 
rejecting this type of noise.  As such, it makes sense that the cable 
would also be quiet in less demanding environments.  However, this 
really only applies for balanced interconnect.  So as Elhard suggests 
- for the unbalanced signals on a modular synth, overkill!  It is very 
nice cable though :)
