[Harp-L] Cable

["John F. Potts" <hvyj@xxxxxxx>]

Having no claim to any particular expertise, and speaking purely from  
anecdotal personal experiences, as far as Lo-Z XLR cable is  
concerned, I find high end low capactiance XLR cables to sound  
somewhat thin or lacking in midrange.  I use Peavey XLR cables and I  
think the sound is full bodied.

For Hi-Z cable I happen to like how Monster Jazz cable sounds.  To my  
ear it sounds very full with nice rich low end.

I definitely think different cable efffects sound/tone differently  
and that it pays to use decent quality cable.

As far as the maximum length of Hi-Z cable runs, it has been my  
experience that up to 25' produces no audible deterioration in sound  
quality for live performance, and i have occasionally used as long as  
30' without any audible problems.  i realize this is quite a bit  
longer than conventional wisdom dictates, but i am speaking based on   
personal experiences.

FWIW,
