Relatively large/heavy duty cable with great sound

Kaiviti 30.12.2019

Well, the cable itself doesn't have a sound of course but it doesn't seem to affect the sound of my guitar. I use relatively short cables from the guitar to the first device with a buffer but even so this cable seems great, no detectable colouration or loss.

Previously I was using a Van Damme cable of around the same length which also is very transparent but one minor con with the Spirit cable is that it is a lot more prone to kinking up compared to the Vad Damme cable - that might just be because it is a lot newer and a bit stiffer though. The cable feels pretty substantial, was nice to work with and fits well into the Neutrik connectors I fitted. The cable construction is very nice, great quality with both copper woven screen and conductive plastic layer, no nise or interference at all.

Nice and flexible, good optics to

Jack85 10.03.2022

Bought this one for making patch cables for my pedalboard. The cable is easy to work with, quite flexible and looks better than "standard" opaque cables. No noticeable tone degradation.

Great for patchcables ? perhaps a bit stiff for guitar cable

Supercollide 19.07.2016

I purchased a good amount of this and Hicon Angled jack plugs to make custom patch cables for my pedal board.
Other reviews have commented on the stiffness and thickness of this cable and I would certainly echo this. It's not a bad thing at all but you do need to be aware of it.

For me it's currently too stiff to use as a cable from my bass to my pedal board as I move around a lot. It might ease up after a fair bit of use but I?m not going to attempt that (besides I've since gone wireless) but it's great for patch cables and I'm be very tempted to try it for more immobile cables like from pedals to amp.

It also took a little bending to get the patch cables into place but 'wiggling' the cable before soldering it and then again before installing in the pedal board helped. Once in place they were solid, I was tempted to Velcro them down in places but it's not been necessary.

Sound quality is great, it's better or on a par with my guaranteed for life thick (8mm jacket) fender angles plug cables and easily far superior to the moulded patch cables I was previously using.

Awesome quality.

xtech 10.03.2018

If you look for a quality cable, you can't miss this one.
It has a low capacitance. The copper core conductor has a good gauge with 42 braids of copper (0.15mm, the best you can get). The shielding is good and if you need to point a problem is that it is not very bendable, but that is not a problem for me, only if you want to have short 180 degree turn in a very crowded pedalboard.

One thing that adds to the confidence in this brand: they are not afraid of publishing the cable specs! Other "premium" brands only mention snake oil's features like "gold contacts" but they don't really disclose the real features of the cables, and in the great majority of times it turns out that the cables have poor features.

You can't go wrong with this cable. It would deserve 6 stars if it was possible, i can't recommend it enough.
