Re: Instrument Cable Reccomendations

What connectors did you guys use for the Mogami 2524 cable?

I just use the ones Orange County Speaker sells in bulk. GLS? Seem to be good enough.

I used the Neutrik NP2RX and straight version, as well as Switchcraft 228. Now they have the 229 which would make it a little easier to build. http://www.redco.com/Switchcraft-L229.html

VAN DAMME PRO INSTRUMENT CABLE (sold by the meter) + Neutrik NP2X connectors.

I've been using them for over a year. Never tried anything that sounded better..very open, punchy, clear & detailed (but not harsh) without loosing any fat, bottom end chunck. At under $2.50 a metre it's a hell of a deal.

Where do you order your cable from?

I had good experience with Lava cable for pedalboard patch cables, the Mini ELC. They make instrument cables too.

These are just tough as nails. Cloth braiding will suffer abuse and look great. You can choose color and pattern. Your cables will look like your cables, not like the other guy's. A bit pricey but you'll be 50 before you'll need to replace them.

This. I got an 18' and a 21' a while back and they look brand new. They sound great too. You can get them way cheaper on Amazon - I think I paid (with tax and shipping) about $70 for the pair.

Planet Waves American Stage. These are durable with gold plated tips that was "redesigned" to fit into some jacks better. These are also made in New York across the street from where D'Addario strings are made. USA made and they are not as expensive as Mogami and some others

I recently bought one of these, and it seems very good for the low price. Its specs are supposed to be similar to expensive "boutique" cables.

Years ago I kept buying those cheap $10 cables at the local music store, and they never lasted too long. I then decided to spend a bit more, and bought several Spectraflex cables. I've been using those Spectraflex cables for 13 or 14 years now, and never had any problems at all. However, even though they are extremely reliable, when I compared them to a friend's $100 Alessandro cable they sounded dull in comparison.

For long cables I use Spectrafelx and patch calbes I use GeorgeL's.
