They're made to order in whatever length and jack type you want :)

George L's are the best that I have tried, they have a lower noise ratio than any other, and seem to clean up the sound massivley. I have tried brass, nickel and gold plated ends and I like brass the best.

Evidence are reportedly some of the best cables out there. I'm going to be entirely recabling my rig with them soon. Vovox are supposedly excellent.

According to the ClearTone website, they use Van Damme cable, and Neutrik cables. I use Van Damme/Neutriks at the moment, and they are great. Certainly better than your average Planet Waves etc. If you can't stretch to the "boutique" cables, these are probably your best bet.

Mogami, if you want the cheap answer.

But if you are looking for professional quality i would check out Alessandro Instrument Pro instrument cables.

I always liked Monster cables, I used to sell them and while pricey they are really fantastic and come with a lifetime warranty (brilliant for when the roadie drops a flight case on the cable).

Check out their power strips too, they cut out all the radio frequencies that house and pub wiring picks up so that you don't get "rentacab" or the police talking through your amp during your quiet intro sections.

The problem with monster cables for me is that there are no convenient suppliers in SE england... (apart from Stringsdirect but they are out of stock...)

looks like i'll have to look into those award session cables... :)

I didn't mind Monster cables, until I read THIS and THIS, and now I refuse to buy anything from them at all. This is one example out of MANY where the company uses litigation, in my opinion, in a grossly immoral manner. Just google "Monster Cable" and "lawsuit" and you'll see what I mean. Despicable company, if you ask me.

Hmmmm yeah its slightly off-key but i can see where Monster are coming from there...
