SlagJones Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Anyone use the Pro Co cables from Sweetwater? I have been using a Horizon standard cable but it seems like it has developed some noise. I assume it is some shoddy soldering. Any suggestions on moderately priced reliable cables? Emphasis on reliable. I have only used that Horizon cable for less than 6 months. Thanks.

copper1281734000 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I like the new snapjack cables. They have magnetic jacks, so if you step on the cable, there is less of a jack of breaking the output jack. They are VERY solidly built, with pretty thick insulation. They are around $35 for a 15 foot, I don't know if that's too much, but it is a little pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlagJones Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Do you know any online dealers for the snapjack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copper1281734000 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Snapjack sells them directly. Â They also have them on MF: Â http://www.musiciansfriend.com/navigation?q=snapjack&st= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelake07 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hadn't seen that item, seems like a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Strum Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I'm no cable expert, but all of mine (a few 10' and two 20') are Pro Co. I think they are great for the price. I usually wait for a sale, plus their free shipping when I pick some up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I have a Whirlwind cable that I like... I originally bought it because it matched my mic cable, which is black/red tweed, but I actually think it sounds better. Â Plus, it's a local company, which makes me feel good. It's the same reason I buy Kodak things - half the people in my town work there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larkin38 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I`ve been using Whirlwind cables since the 70`s. They`re still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbbysB4Epis Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Live Wire Cables available at Guitar Center are decent cables for the money and they have a no questions asked life-time warranty. They come in assorted lengths six to eighteen feet with straight or right angle jacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I use Horizon mostly. I run the output from my wireless receiver to the effects chain and then into the amp. I've been using wireless for a couple of years and I'm sold on it. The tone is there and I don't step on my cord anymore. Another nice thing is that you can walk out into the audience and listen to what the people are hearing while you are still playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 F*nder California cables are made of good components and quite cheap; I got an 18-footer for 10 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
