Well, I can hear it, and its much better to me. Of course, the guitarist defines what it should sound like, so if you like it, be happy. One could argue about the definition of "good quality" cable here. I've tried a fair number and have not found any I like. >> For anything over 10 feet, I use a DI rather than running high Z. > > I use a 10m (30ft) cable; I need the length on stage. Have you tried a countryman DI? Lets you use any length of cable. What is much more important in this thread is that unlike speakers and interconnects, guitar cables can make an audible difference. Ditto the cable to your 'green bullet' mic to record blues harmonica. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
