Your fav brand of instrument cables?

[ggunn]

Really? Why is that?

Muttley already answered, but here's a couple of reasons:

Unsubstantiatable snake oil claims about "clarity", "transparency", etc. of signal carried by their hideously overpriced cables, designed to pick the pockets of musicians. Where is my dadgum transparency meter, anyway?

Unscrupulous, predatory business practices, including trying to sue the pants off anyone who uses the word "monster" in any sort of marketing campaign, in any context, irrespective of whether or not they have any connection to audio.

I'll never buy anything from them. If someone gave me a Monster Cable, I'd take it out in the yard and run over it with my lawnmower.

I'm poking around on the Interwebs, and I can't find anyone that sells bulk braided instrument cable.

Anyone know of any sources?

And I'll bet your lawnmower would slice it up with new found clarity and transparency.

ZB, Not in the US but don't you guys have Radio Spares, Tandy etc. or can't you find what you want here.

Are you after something special?

I've never seen it - I think you are just going to have to buy them. My guess is that the ends would unravel whenever you cut it.

Thanks, Mutt. No, nothing special, I just like the way the exterior braiding looks.

Right, I could see that as a problem, too. If that stuff is synthetic then heat could seal up the braid, maybe before you cut the cable....
