Standard cables to my experience don't last very long before they start to run poor at some positions.
I don't know if it's wort it to get the most expencive cord but I purchased a Planet Waves cord which was about the price of 4-5 standard cords. I expect it to last longer and work better. It's gold plated and noiceless. There was a model above this with a circuit breaker button but I rather keep it simple, less things that can break. But yes, I'm sick and tired of cheapo cords, I rather spend a bit more. -------------------- My bands homepage

I agree - I'm not sure I buy that higher end cables will make you sound better than an equivalent cheap one as some claim (well maybe a little better but not a huge amount), but the rugedness alone is definitely worth spending the extra for.

I dont think you have to buy the most expensive cables to get the best sound, but if you have a rack.. good and durable patchcables are really recommended.
George L is good for patchcables. Theyre not that expensive either. This post has been edited by Trond Vold: Apr 26 2008, 01:11 PM -------------------- Guitars: Schecter Stiletto Classic, Jackson SLSMG, Ibanez RG-380 Japan, Gibson Les Paul Studio

Hehehe now I remembered
I had some Proel life time guarantee cables and we were playing a gig We started playing a heavy song and people went jumping like crazy and everything and one girl fell on stage and stepped on my pedal board at the place where my cable goes in ...so the gold plated metal tip of cable was ripped off So much of life time guarantee

The quality of the sound is not important. The quality built of the cable is. The cable must be well crafted in order to with stand the constant road abuse.

In BG we are using a lot of Monster cables, but other good cables are fine too, I would just not go for ANY cable since cheap ones tend to break easily and it is no fun at all to check your setup for a broken cable in the middle of a gig.

Good quality cables are durable, and that is what you are paying mostly. Of course there is a minor difference in sound quality but that is not a primary thing. Primary thing is durability imo.
