Guitar Cable Recommendations?
Greetings all,
Firstly, I'm sorry if this has been done to death elsewhere, but a quick search couldn't find a thread on this topic. I'm dusting off the guitars and amps after a couple of years of musical inactivity. Everything looks pretty serviceable, with the exception of my cables. What I do remember was that they last few I bought were pretty disappointing in terms of quality and longevity. So what brands do you guys and gals recommend? Cheers (PS: If there's an existing thread, I'm happy to be redirected) |

I like Spectraflex.
There's a zillion options, made in USA and lifetime warranty.....which I've never had to use. http://spectraflex.com/ Buy quality cables that you can depend on. That's the important part. That leaves plenty of room to get the ones you like.

Thanks for the replies. The Planet Waves cables are readily available here in Australia, and seem quite reasonably priced, but those Spectraflex cables look pretty nice!
Anyone using the Dimarzio cables? |

I have Mogami and Planet Waves. Mogami are the quietest but expensive and Planet Waves very good for the money. Never had a problem in the 7 years I have used the Planet Wave cable.

I make my own, Switchcraft ends and Belden cable.
If your looking only at commercially available ones, this guy does a good review of about 20-30 cables. Here's the link. www.ovnilab.com This will get you to his compressor page and google search "audio cable" and your there. Good reviews. |

+1 on Armor Gold- I've been happy and they are consistently ranked high in comparisons. First impression on the ploymer mesh is "sharp alligator skin" but u get used to it and it does not seem to be rough on a finish- certainly feels like it will last forever.
