I was just about to upgrade to some Mogami Gold cables (till I saw the prices!), and decided to call a buddy who has done lots of research, A/B'ing, etc., and he said build quality is important if you're gigging regularly (which I'm not), and quality is important for recording (which I don't.) But beyond that, they don't matter, sonically speaking.
But someone else here swore he could hear his guitars come alive (both w/ active PU's) when switching to the Mogami Gold's, and made a good point about using cheap cables from a $3500 guitar into a $2000 processor, cable being the weak link, and all that, which I said made sense.
Then someone else said they cannot hear a difference between expensive cables and ones from Amazon...
Sigh...
So for my specific situation: Majesty with active PU's, into Axe Fx III, into either Mesa power amp & 2 4x12 Recto cabs, or straight into DT880 Pro headphones (no recording, no gigging, but still want to buy gear that will last, and I'm careful with all my gear, including cables)..., what do you guys think?
Is it worth it to drop 80 bucks on a high-quality guitar cable, and 40 or so bucks each, on several short cables to route between effects units/amps?
P.S. I already own proper, high-quality speaker cables for my cabinets.
And even if this has been discussed, I felt like posting instead of searching, also wanting fresh responses.
TIA!
