I like Fender cables, the big puffy braided ones. And the Platinum.

Never used them, always stuck with Mogami and Planet Waves myself, great quality that do the job impeccably.

Capacitance isn't everything in a cable. The thing to remember is that the lower the capacitance, the brighter the cable will be. Whether or not that's a problem depends on the amp and the tone you're chasing. Personally I'd put more emphasis on things like build quality, durability, and possibly warranty.
TL;DR: Capacitance isn't the be all end all of cables. If it sounds good, it is good.

Re: monster rock cable: yes or not ?
when you read websites
you can find in every descriptions that capacitance is the most important thing to keep the tone and the trebles
other things are important: double shield, oxygen free but
the most important thing for me is not to have a dark sound because of a cable
so you said the capacitance is not important but important
funny lol

I have never plugged in a cable with a sound I couldn't 'correct' with amp eq. Durability is important to me. The 'tangle factor' is important to me. A cable I can fix is important to me. I've never decided on a cable due to capacitance. There are too many other ways to alter the tone in the chain.

apparently SRV swore by high cap cables if i'm not mistaken.

Re: monster rock cable: yes or not ?
No. Bright tone=Low Capacitance. Too much bright not everyone likes.
The higher the capacitance, the more darker the sound. Too much dark not everyone likes.
Less than 90pF is what you like.
Besides cable, the plugs themselves have their own capacitance value. Check the datasheets available on websites of Neutrik, Switchcraft or whichever brand of plugs included with the cable. The seller webites that you read from don't always mention this, you need to know/understand that. If you can't find the data, measure using a meter.
Edit: Buy this for 60pF at 15m http://zerocapcable.com/?page_id=231

Re: monster rock cable: yes or not ?
Indeed, proper coiling of cables prolong the life of them indefinitely. Makes me mad when seeing people bunch them up in a messy loop or wrap them round their elbow in a spiral, instead of the "over and under alternating loop" format.

Re: monster rock cable: yes or not ?
In the part he quoted you said the opposite
If you said exactly the same in another post
Then you are talking in circles
Let him post if he wants to
No one is stopping you

Re: monster rock cable: yes or not ?
Yes, we are talking. I corrected a mistake you made in the post i quoted of yours. But i also gave you a link for what you want & should also be aware of that so far you haven't talked about - the capacitance of the plugs used in the cable assembly.
You want the best tone, use a ZeroCap cable, its the lowest you can get for whatever length you need, the only capacitance it has is because of the plugs used.
