Donny posts a cable review by a guitarist, and someone else starts talking about speaker cables... Once again, the difference eludes you.

If your arrangers put out as low a level signal as an electric guitar does, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. You would KNOW that there is a difference between premium cables (not super high 'audiophiles' but at least the mid ranger ones) and low end ones.

But you don't know jack, because you all use static cables for high level line level signals, and are mostly of an age where hearing loss makes it impossible to hear any difference at all (I regularly work with older musicians that can't even hear a decent 60 cycle hum, let alone a low level buzz).... Shielding and wire DOES make a difference when you are amplifying a signal thousands of times, compared to a cable that carries a signal that basically doesn't need ANY amplification at the preamp.

But your own agendas (don't for one minute think that just advertisers are the only ones with one) don't even stop to acknowledge the utter difference between speaker and signal cables, let alone those between line level signals and low level guitar signals.

They are all the same, aren't they? Damn, you are some pretty smart people...! Maybe you should go down some major recording studio... give them the benefit of all your wisdom. Tell them they don't need those Neve or SSL boards, either. There's got to be some doofus that can't tell the difference between those and a Mackie VLZ, too. So that MUST make it true. Tell them their Lexicons sound the same as a Microverb... Or your SM58 stacks up against a U87.

Don't expect them to remain as polite as I have, though!
