hullabalooeeks, patch cables should be of a certain thickness for better shielding and protection. You get them cheap ones, you have a chair roll over them, gone... you get cheap ones, you find how come you get noise them its next to a power source... you get cheap ones and you will find tone degradation.

Of course, I don't believe in spending $20 on a 1 foot patch cable. It IS still just a cable and there's only so much you can do... there's so much that can be done up to a level where improvements WILL NOT BE HEARD by the human ear.

So get something thats decent like them luther cables but I wouldn't be so obessessed as to go for stuff like George Ls or Klutz.. because they still are just patch cables of what, 1 foot? If you were talking about 20 feet cables, I'll say go Monster or George Ls or even Dimarzio because those lengths demand better protection and shielding to prevent tone degradation.

And yes, you could say you can hear the difference... but really, for many (Not all ah.. some really got super ears) its just the power of suggestion that makes you think otherwise. Get blindfolded and ask a friend A/B these expensive cables and something like Luther's and how many of you can tell the diff? I can't....

I thought luther cables are klotz cables with the neutrik heads?
Now they have a guitar cable from japan, Canara if i'm not wrong with neutrik heads also.

the klotz cable by itself isn't expensive. It's actually the head that is.

Klotz are among one of the medium-high range costing cables. For one foot, i think it's a bit wasteful...but if you're really particular about this, then go for it.

Well, i'm using the cheapo cables from Davis, the colourful, thin ones, and, i don't really have sharp ears when it comes to cables, only eyes, so, i try not to care so much. hehe....

anyway, if you've got the cash, i heard from my good friend, there's this head that's about $100++..apparently some very demanding studio users uses them for recordings.
