I use monster cables almost exclusively because I got (past tense) a good deal from the company itself. However, since moving their manufacturing operation to China, my sponsorship dried up. What other brands do you guya (and gals) recommend? I've gotten a lot of good advice here and always learn something new. Give me some suggestions. Thanks

monster cables are good for speaker cabs...but for guitars they destroy my input jack all the time...i went to live wires same lifetime guarantee and they are silver ends not gold...i tell ya the truth i hear no difference at all

I'm a Monster Cable guy myself.
But if playing a party, or outdoors, I just grab what ever I can stuff in my case. I shall cast no pearls before the swine.

When recording in MY studio, it is Monster all the way. Many are the times I have made the band use my cables to keep the noise down.

George L's are pretty good too.

planet waves makes some good cheap stuff. i don't have the money at the moment to care that much about my sound. i have some good samson cables at the moment and their great. i just need to get a right angle cable here soon

Although I use radio for every gig, obviously there's cables all over the place on the stage.

For mine, I now exclusively use my own leads. I make these up myself with the best cable I can find (OFC generally) and ALWAYS Neutrix jacks. This way I can have them any length, colour, combination etc.

The other good thing is that so far they have NEVER failed - Famous last words!

yeah, i know alot of people that make their own cables. there are some really good kits out there to make your own patch cables for your pedal boards

i just recently started using Monster cables. so far i'm pretty happy with them.

Mogami is the way to go. best cables you can buy.

p.s. the markup on monster cables is about 400%

Yeah, Mogami are good cables. The mark up on all that stuff is crazy though. I don't really notice too much sound difference, but Mogami cables seem to be pretty tough.

never heard of mogami, i'll be sure and check them out. i've been using digiflex cables for years, and had very few problems with them, aside from the regular wear and tear experienced from extensive touring. i believe they have a lifetime warranty, and have the neutrik connections on the ends.
