QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Feb 21 2014, 08:00 AM)  Nice! Thanks man  I have some friends - they play metal - and they use them onstage all the time. There's a lot of theatrics with them and the show is very dynamic, so I was thinking that they are cool, but you know, I have to document myself pretty well before actually making an acquisition. What sort of styles do you play?I play 70's covers, 90's covers, and blues. One of the blues guys on the JoeBonamassa forum turned me on to them. My original band does nerdy pop-punk. We're the "nerdiest rock band in Detroit." I have a theremin solo in one of the songs, lol. http://www.reverbnation.com/strollercoaster -------------------- As me about my Michigan-based handwound Great Lakes Guitar Pickups. Est. 2010 - I wind more for hobby and not for profit. I do pickup winding, rewinding, and some vintage repair as well.

The theremin is by far one of the most amazing things I've ever come across How did you learn how to use it man? |

QUOTE (Lovtscho @ Feb 21 2014, 07:58 AM) Regarding cables I would say that good cbales make a difference. It is more or less obvious depending on: - the signal (vocals through mic pre, guitars mic'd though cabinet/direct out/digital box, keyboards...) - the final destination - everything in between and behind the final destination Example given: If you record your nice acoustic guitar / most loved guitar/amp combo through a great microphone, followed by a decent pre/channelstrip and converted by a good AD/DA converter to tape/your digital DAW and listen to the result thorugh some great speakers in a well treated room the choice of the cable will be obvious. If you track a standard $200 guitar through a Korg Pandora direclty into a $100 interface the difference will be almost unnoticable. If you use microphopnes to record your signal a good quality cable between the mic and the pre is beneficial without any doubt. QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Feb 22 2014, 11:56 PM) The comment above, posted by Lovtscho, regarding the fact that the difference is obvious when it comes down to the rest of the gear, kind of says it all Yes, that has been my experience as well. When everything else is of good quality and in good working condition that last 2 or 3% can have a perceptible difference. *I have a pair of Evidence Audio 'forte' cables that only go to sessions. http://www.evidenceaudio.com/product.html For live I use some Spectraflex, Lava, Fulltone, Canare, Mogami, Belden (belden is great bulk wire but you have to make your own cables with it). All decent quality that'll hold up in live conditions and isn't too expensive to replace when they break or get lost. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
