Members NITEFLY182 Posted June 24, 2006 Members Share Posted June 24, 2006 Ahhhhhhh! But oh well, I shouldnt need more cables for a long time. I ordered a total of 13 patch cables with canare gs-6, one 2' sommer speaker cable, and I decided to go high end with a 12' evidence melody cable. we'll see how it is when I get it.

Well if it doesnt have a solder joint its not going anywhere in my rig. I prefer no chance of failure to "you have to assemble it perfect" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ejk Posted June 24, 2006 Members Share Posted June 24, 2006 I spent about $215 on Canare patch cables and instrument cables too, definately better than the Whirlwind instrument cables and Hosa patches that I used to use. The patches in particular were a really big improvement, more or less because the Hosas were cheap pieces of crap. It solved a leaky signal problem that I had with the FX96 analog delay, cut down on noise levels, and helped out with overall tone loss a good bit. The tone loss used to drive me nuts but now it's tolerable.....still there, but now it's not terribly obvious and I can overlook it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ray18 Posted June 24, 2006 Members Share Posted June 24, 2006 mmm yeah 1pf is really going to {censored} your sound up but I guess $230 is worth the extra pube's worth you need to turn the treble knob up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And isn't it obviously better not to lose the treble in the first place, rather than try to put it back in (and boost the noise) later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dot-dot-dot Posted June 24, 2006 Members Share Posted June 24, 2006 Middling. The Klotz La Grange and Sommer Spirit are both around 60pF/m, as I recall. Why buy anything worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Seth Carmody Posted June 25, 2006 Members Share Posted June 25, 2006 I was quite happy with my $10 cables/$2 patches. Upgraded to a pretty modest Mogami/G&H set (2 10ft, 4 12") for around US$75). Noticed a nice improvement at the time. Plugged in the old cables several months ago and it's effing night and day.
