As someone who used to sell hifi for a living I can confirm good quality cabling is a huge benefit.

At my presbycusis afflicted age, used exclusively for personal use in my home and home studio, good shielded cable with quality Switchcraft or XLR clone terminals which deny signal cross interference suffices. Runs aren't 30 metres. Not necessarily always the cheapest, but being sufficiently selective to be amenably priced and affordable is preferable. No *need* to spend on brand hype or "best" boasting rights. Guarantee the moment a big brand name goes on packaging, the price double to triples yet there's no discernible difference in construction or performance. That's me. I do me. You do you.

I know the subject is cables; but what's that rack you got for your guitars to the side of you? I've been looking for something like that but everything I find seems to be cheap and not very well-reviewed.

Hello, i have an issue with my guitar sim!! when ever i play the thicker strings it sounds always muddy no matter what i do, it sounds distorted and i tought it might be from the cable (it is a Thomann cable) and i wanted to ask from you since you ve made this video, what could it be?

I am giving you a Thumbs up for being a subscriber, but I don´t have 60 to 100 euros to buy a guitar cable. I need something more affordable. There are other options which
use 100% copper, good ground shielding and 24k-plate gold 6.3 mm jacks. I am not going to name brands.
