Cheap instrument cables

Something told me that $35 for a 10ft stereo cable was a little steep. After a lot of searching and much consternation, we have found a good source. This particular link is for a 12 foot stereo to stereo.

Looks to be of good quality. For those of you that cannot afford to, or do not need to, buy a spool of cable, this is probably worth it for the cable alone. My only gripe is that they don't offer 90 degree jacks. In the guitar nuts way, I may just make it make do They have a 25 foot version for the same price.

There is no specificity given for this cable, other than the connectors are "sturdy" and that the cable is "professional grade".

It may be a fine cable or it may not. This is completely indeterminate from the lack of specificity.

Typically one would want to know the capacitance of the total cable or per foot, and the shielding effectively.


Due to the low cost, and the freedom from statements about "oxygen free copper", "disingenuous ethereal spatial reasoning/seasoning", and "free range baba ghanoush", at least you're not being conned.


Let us know how it sounds.
