Members saxamafone Posted September 5, 2006 Members Share Posted September 5, 2006 i asked the dealer if it can be used between a valve guitar amp and a speaker cab and i got this: - "This Mogami 3082 speaker cable is of studio quality so easily capable of handling valve amps to a true audiophile standard. It has better sound quality than quad speaker cable even!. It is also one of the most economical Mogami speaker cables and quite popular with professionals." they seem to be ok but i just want to make sure.. i can use this between my head and cab don't want to blow up anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MetalGuitar08 Posted September 6, 2006 Members Share Posted September 6, 2006 I've been looking to buy George L's pre-made speaker cable, something small like 5'. I can't find this anywhere! This is the only place I've found, but I don't know if it's pre-made or not.. http://www.stompin-ground.com/products/sgcableglsSPK.htm?tp=CONTINUE+SHOPPING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Osmosis Posted September 6, 2006 Members Share Posted September 6, 2006 Mogami is a very good brand of cable, you shouldn't have any problems. Don't expect any kind of improvement in tone, though...despite what you'll read in ads, speaker cable is speaker cable, for the most part. Heck, you could take a power cord from a lamp and shoehorn two 1/4" plugs on it and it would work fine. Just make sure you get something good and sturdy with good connectors and you're set.

Members GCDEF Posted September 6, 2006 Members Share Posted September 6, 2006 Originally posted by saxamafone so all speaker cables with 1/4 plugs can handle valve amps? Depends on the length and gauge, but yes, anything 16 gauge or thicker (smaller number) less than 30 or 40 feet long should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Osmosis Posted September 6, 2006 Members Share Posted September 6, 2006 Originally posted by saxamafone so all speaker cables with 1/4 plugs can handle valve amps? The applications guitar players use speaker cables for are not even close to as demanding as live sound. You're talking probably 100watts with a run of just a few feet, as opposed to thousands of watts over dozens of feet...this is cake for any properly made cable. You could even get away with less than 16 gauge and not have any problems (although I feel more comfortable with a bit thicker cable). All in all, guitar amp/cab duty is probably one of the least demanding situations as far as speaker cables go. You won't have any problems with the mogami cable.
