Title: Is this a legit Klotz La Grange cable/lead?
Post by: dave_mc on February 25, 2010, 06:21:56 PM

EDIT: you can probably disregard this, I got a good answer on another forum. Unless anyone desperately wants to reply (which is why I've left it open)... :)

Hi guys,

Got a 10% off voucher for ebay, figured I'd put it towards a Klotz La Grange cable as I've been hearing a lot of good things about them, and have been meaning to try one out for a while. Only thing is, I know Klotz have various different qualities of cable at various different prices, and I want to make sure I'm getting the right thing. :D

I've found this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3m-Klotz-AC110-guitar-lead-neutrik-straight-r-a-jack_W0QQitemZ140358816730QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL?hash=item20ae0993da (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3m-Klotz-AC110-guitar-lead-neutrik-straight-r-a-jack_W0QQitemZ140358816730QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL?hash=item20ae0993da)

I'm guessing it's made by the seller from bulk cable- he claims that the ac110 Klotz cable is the replacement for La Grange- is this true? I had a quick look on the Klotz site, but it's not really offering any useful information...

far as I can tell, the capacitance is 70pf on the ac110 versus 67pf on the la grange, is that close enough to make next to no difference?)

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

3pF per metre difference - even bats would be hard pressed to hear such a difference.

thanks HTH, that's what I figured, i've since heard on the musicradar forum that it's the same cable rebranded. there's a guy on there with his own cable company who's selling the same thing cheaper than ebay, so I'll probably just buy from him. :)
