«  It's expensive, but it exudes quality! »

Published on 09/14/11 at 04:37
Since good ten years that I'm doing the guitar / bass, I was a bit fed up of having cables cheap, like Yellow Cable.
So I thought, even buy a cable, as it is good. So I did a little tour of topics dealing with cables, and it appeared roughly three brands 'high end': ProCo, and Monster Cable Evidence Audio.
I liked the ProCo not too look at the Evidence Audio seemed a chouillas too expensive, and I liked the face of Monster Cables. In addition, I could find on the web 35th so it was all good.

Level manufacturing quality, we feel that it's heavy: the cable is thick (and indeed quite rigid, it can irritate some people, for my part I do not care a bit. That is as flexible a garden hose, to get an idea), the connectors seem well made, the set is very heavy, short, it exudes quality!
The gold plating, I believe in half ... I trimballe neutrik cables from 5 / 6 years I never had a problem with stuttering due to the oxidation ... But hey, it could be a plus.

The level I have not listen enough trained to be able to make a clear difference with my old jack (good for last I used it in the Sommer Cable Neutrik, the quality that was already correct). I will not revive a debate that could talk forever about the differences in sound between a particular cable (see all topics on AF!)

So the same, price level, it hurts: in my 35th but on average it 45/50e ... For some this is heresy to many Thune in a cable (see here also the subjects of AF, especially this one:
In my case, it does not bother me more than that from the moment we have the dosh to put in the jacks and the quality is at the appointment. It's all about how ...
In addition, the cables are guaranteed for life: that is to say that if the cable starts to blow up, the connection merdoie, hop back on here and it receives a new one. So even the 50th for something that lasts a lifetime, it is still not negligible: at once the price becomes quite "relative".

The price / quality ratio for me is "improvable", but hey, you just need to be aware at the time of purchase. There are cables with a better (see if one or even its cables, the report is incomparable).

With experience, yes I would do this choice, without much hesitation. The sound is good and as said above, it is guaranteed for life!
However, I would see something elsewhere, in competition (ProCo and Evidence), see what it looks like too:)
