There was no comparison, the Monster jazz cable mellowed out the tone, seemed like a touch of sustain was added, each note seemed to be encassed in a water droplet. ”

It pains me to admit it, but that ProCo cable w/the wooden jack plug looks great!

I'd break it in a day.
I'm careful with my kit, but the nicer it is, the more unlucky I get.

So, I buy cheap shit(except my guitars...ooooohno) and then somehow it lasts forever.

Oh good lord WHY? 23 pages of cable reviews?

I swear to god, I'm going to go out and start a rumor that the height differential from one end of the cord to the other is key, because the electrons slide down the cord faster due to gravitational pull.

"In order to improve guitar performance in my studio, I drilled a hole through the floor of my moms bedroom and stood directly above my amp. The difference was undeniable..."

Oh good lord WHY?

Let no cork go unsniffed.

For instance, that thread about cable DIRECTION making a difference. Obviously total hokum. BUT vertical orientation makes a huge difference. If you have the bass side of the cable on top, all of the heavy low frequencies fall on top of your highs and SMOTHER YOUR TONE. So make sure you have Bass on the Bottom and Treble on Top (BB/TT = handy mnemonic because lord knows guitar players need the help.)
