evidence cables

[zenguan88]

does any 1 noe where can i get evidence audio.
i read they are some great cables.

http://www.evidenceaudio.com/

i thought it produces a clear and bright sound compared to some other brands of cable.

 

[Gr3y]

yes! you are right my friend.. evidence audio are one of the best in the world man..i own a 10feet melody cable with amphenol jacks and they are freaking crystal clear! you cant get it with other brands.. lets not mention what brands i'm comparing with!Got mine from the new Maestro @ Esplanade.. cool place to get guitar stuff.. haha.. can shop by marina square too well yeah.. thats besides the point.. but i urge those people who think "its all about the tone" to seriously check out those evidence cable and their amphenol jacks man!


sorry shread,borrowed your line!

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

iam using the evidence audio instrument cable, mostly for recording thou

Compare to george L, its a wee bit fuller sounding. But i guess my hearing is spoilt, the differences isnt too wide apart.

hehe, 10 ft of it! Isnt that enough to buy couple of behringer pedals

Reviews online are true to certain extents, scientifically proven based on test statistics (Amount of oxygen in the wires etc..) and of course the perceived results in the trained ears of the people who review these cables.

My 2 cents...

Try and see whether you can tell the difference between, locally available well made cables such as Canare, Klotz, George Ls etc. If they suit your needs get them. I've been using Canare and Klotz and they work just great. Ask me whether I can tell the difference between them, and frankly speaking, I can at best tell the difference between those cheapo multi coloured patch cables and mine. But The difference between planet waves, pro-el, canare, klotz, georgeLs...honestly no.

Also no offense but the gear you're using also has to justify the type of cables you use. A lot of folks use the marketting hype of "only as strong as your weakest link" to push boutique cables, but honestly after a certain level. There's only certain nuances in a cable which your ears can pick up.

Evidence Cables cost a bomb though, they'll only be worth the dough if you and your listeners can tell the difference, and also if you've got the gear and chops to justify it as well.

Lavaman stocks loads of great cables, every single big name is there, Evidence is one of them too.

Do read up on the resources there, lot's to learn on cables, it's madness!

Klotz, Canare are available from Mr Misse, and I believe luther carries them too.

George Ls, available at Guitar77 and Davis.

Mogami, should be available at TY Music. (Scott Henderson Approved!)

well sometimes those bombs are good ya know? haha..

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

bravo to souljah post!

+69 to klotz and canare too, works well and reasonable price!

 

[SoulJah]

well sometimes those bombs are good ya know? haha..

Yup they are good, but good only if you can tell the difference, have the gear, tone, and chops to justify it.

Do a blind test, with a cheapo Pro-El/Planet Waves/Dimarzio etc cable and an "Insert Famous Brand Here" cable, if you can tell the difference, I salute you man. I wish I had ears like your's also.

You got million dollar ears, should go be a producer.

 

[Gr3y]

well i dunnoe abt u guys but i did tried comparing the evidence melody b4 i bought it la.. the normal cables (less mentioning of brands here) are some how muffled at the higher frequency.. i'm not lying.. and when i a/b to the evidence melody, they sounds clear! really.. well i might be wrong.. maybe i should go for medical check up soon..


its no point to argue about it.. its like how some people can survive with tones of berhinger pedals la.. its not something bad not to use evidence but it is definately good 2 own and use a good cable..

ok i'm fussy about the tone..

 

[SoulJah]

I'm no authority on cables, I'm still struggling with my guitar playing. No super expensive platinum coated, level 99999 warrior cable can save me.

But I do agree, owning a good cable is a must.

However, please don't eat into the hype of the marketing machine, it's just like how some guitar string companies want you to think their strings are different. When in actual face most of them are made by the same company.

Even Lavaman rates, EA Melody, and Klotz as being on par with each other.

To think that before I got educated on all this boutique cable, and when Mr Misse got me some Klotz, I didn't knew what the heck it was.

Basket free patch cable with Expensive pedal...Simi Lai Eh Klotz...come home and test feels the same to me. Just a little more stylin' and uniformed.

FWIW, Most of the time people do not hear the differences because they are too small or maybe the AB test conditions are simply not ideal. Unless you use your setup to gig every night, you may not be that familiar with your equipment and the introduction of a new component might not mean that much. BTW, Oxygen free copper is marketing hype used by every cable manufacturer. C'mon man oxygen in copper? heh.

For short run cables, the differences in cables is probably not big. But if it reaches lengths in excess of 5 M, the difference will start to be pretty obvious. Some cables are designed to reduce 'skin effect' (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect) and the el cheapo types will probably oxidise interenally after a while. I realised that the jacks used can make a more immediate difference than the cable itself. I have a pair of canare cables of which one is fitted with neutrik and the other amphenol. The amphenol jack had a better fit and hence better contact. True enough, the one with he amphenol jack sounded better.

Ultimately, the consumer is spoilt for choice. Listen carefully and pick one. If playing ability were to be the judge alone, I think 90% of us will be playing only behrin..., oops I shall not mention names

hmmm.... its a sum of the parts... changing 1 footlong patch, its barely noticable...

but change your entire pedalboard's patch cables and you should be able to hear the difference...

 

[gsonique]

should i say something here ...or just kept it shut ???

 

[ShredCow]

Say it brother Goose!!!! :twisted:

 

[edder]

hur hur hur~

ups your points souljah.

I said this before and I'll repeat again.

Capacitance/Feet is the specs you should read when it comes to

"transparency"
"clarity"
blah blah blah *insert marketing jargon* blah blah blah.

The longer the cable the higher the accumulated capacitance and the more treble bleed.

Simple maths.

 

[gsonique]

as a musician i can't be bothered ....but if i run a messy rec studio ... i might consider !!

 

[SoulJah]

By the way if anyone is interested...

Was down at Maestro today, they've got Evidence in stock, various lengths with Amphenol heads. Good prices too.

 

[Gr3y]

haha i thought you were going against wad i said the last time? :twisted:

 

[SoulJah]

I never went against what you said...

As a matter of fact, I even praised you on your ability to hear the different subtleties in tone from different cables.

I just merely stressed the fact that you have to be able to hear the difference, in order to justify the purchase.

And the fact that by merely changing one ingredient of the many variables of good tone don't hold your breath for a miracle.

I personally IMHO don't see the point if someone uses high end cables through, less than high end equipment, playing guitar with crappy chops.

 

[Gr3y]

lol nodnod

actually the testing of the cables and equipments used during the process is very important! its definately no point if you use a crappy stock pickup and and crappy solid state to try that cable.YES it'll work better but i guess the difference will be very minor.. which is why alot of us cant really find the goodness of a good cable..

also if you realised most of the shop we go to are extremely noisy.. no matter what.. so far the best quiet place i've been to are the Maestro shops.. both of them! esp the new 1 got a soundprove room.but yet got to try anything inside man..saw the walls filled with acoustic foams.. wonder how i'll play like when i'm inside! haha..

oh well.. boutique vs non-boutique.. haha.. its always the case.. otherwise shred will not always say "you need better cables"
