Lava Cable Releases New Lava ELC Cable!

[Lava Man]

The new improved Lava ELC cable is now more flexible, rugged and it provides increased sonic performance by using a lower strand count conductor. At 15 pF per foot, it has the lowest capacitance of any guitar cable on the market. Every aspect of this cable was re-designed with the guitar and bass player in mind to provide for low microphonics, reliability, and superior frequency response. Neutrik straight and G&H right angle plugs are used and each cable is assembled using German made WBT Silver Solder.

The new Lava ELC retails at $69.95 for a 20 foot cable. As with all Lava Cable products, numerous custom length and connector options are available. The specifications of the cable are: Conductor: 20 awg stranded 99.999% pure OFC copper, Insulation: Foamed PE, Electro-static: Conductive PVC, Shield: 98% coverage 99.999% pure OFC copper, Final jacket: Black PVC .305 diameter, Capacitance: 15 pf/FT. This cable can be purchased and custom ordered from Lava Cable’s website: www.lavacable.com, and from dealers.

So the next question is, how does your redesigned ELC stack up against the competition?

Really well! I just A/B'd aganist the Tara Labs Spectrum, the Cardas Golden Chord, the EA Lyric HG and Melody and the old ELC. Its was clearly better than then old version and I preferred it to Cardas Golden Chord and EA Melody and it sonically very close to the others.

How does it compare to Canare, Mogami, or some better Pro Co cables like the Excalliber; Sir Tweed, or Black Knight

It uses better copper, has a larger outer diameter and much lower capacitance than all those, so it is going to allow you to hear more....

You HAD to say that, didn't you... wow. :fing2: I've been sitting in the background on those Gear Page threads keeping updates on cables (there's no doubt in my mind it gets a lot better than the George L and Canare I've been using), you can expect an order from me in a few months.

Maybe its just me, but I never thought George L's were that great. They are certainly better than the average cable, but nothing all that special IMHO.
I like my Klotz "LaGrange" cables I got from Mark.

Yeah, I've got some ridiculously good gear now so the only weak link is the cables at this point. I was seriously contemplating the EA Melody patch cables before, so this new ELC looks pretty sweet.

The one cable I won't replace is the Mulder Audio speaker cable. I compared it to some average speaker cables and the difference was night and day. That cable is incredible and I'm still undecided as to whether I should get more from that guy.

The Melody's are exactly what I'm using for my effects. They aren't cheap, but they are the best I've yet to use.
