Cable

[xgamesterz]

are there higher quality and lower quality cables? (those 8mm that join your amp and guitar)
if so whats the diff? sound quality? response time? oxidation?

 

[markedymark]

yes there are differences. yes they sound different. yes good cables last longer. yes there are high end and low end.

some cables arent shielded well and become more like an antenna rather than a cable.

 

[xgamesterz]

how do you determine one if its good or bad

 

[df]

From my experience, noisy = not good. No noise = good. Used to use the 8 bucks cables from...now using a Planet Waves cable.

 

[markedymark]

USUALLY, the plastic moulded el cheapo ones arent too good, arent shielded properly. good ones are stiff, hard to press in. abit hard to describe in words leh.

 

[im-jk]

what about patch cables?

 

[markedymark]

same goes for most signal cables as far as i know.

 

[xgamesterz]

"used to use those 8 bucks cables".....im using those, from davis.. do they really suck

 

[markedymark]

as with most pieces of gear, its for your ears to justify. dont change them till youre REALLY pissed off by them.

 

[re_unknown]

i using some cables from g77... when od gets at high gain... holy.

ZZEEEZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. ouch. i think my grounding will solve my problem..

neutrix cables =X

 

[markedymark]

neurtik heads? or cables?

havent seen neutrik cables before leh. :lol:

 

[subversion]

when it comes to cables, it is really wise to invest in a low-noise product. if budget is your concern, Ibanez Series 96 & Samson cables are recommended.

 

[symym]

I'd recommend Neutrik Head with Canare GS-6 cables from Luthermusic. Value for money.

 

[subversion]

dud gear bought from any shop would remain as such. please be wary of what you advocate here, some uninformed members would equate shops with dud products.

 

[re_unknown]

pai seh pai seh, mine not neutrix, is Ultrix =X
there put as "noiseless" but its way off otherwise!

 

[neverconscious]

I get cables from him, even patch cables. I love them and I think they're worth every cent

 

[AzNjT]

Feels Sturdy, Good Materials, Looks Good, and just looks "proper"

 

[suckasucks]

[re_unknown]
