EBS_freak Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 I think it's all down to the fact that there is lead in the solder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

songofthewind Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Nope, it’s because it has passed through Alexander Dumble’s aura. THAT is what makes it sound so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hmm. Were those pancake jacks even around in the 70s? I thought they were a fairly recent invention to help people squeeze more pedals onto their boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first very cheap and nasty coily lead bought in 1975 had a flat jack plug just like that at one end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Makes an audible difference, yes, possibly. But does it make it better? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember most guitars amps from a purist electrical engineering PoV are terrible, but it's those originally unwanted side effects of amplifying using valves that make them so desirable now.

PaulWarning Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I'm sure they'll be people who swear it improves the sound, they seem to have the capacity to fool their ears into hearing anything if they paid enough for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Just in case anybody is interested, I'll make you up a similar cable out of bell cable and a couple of crusty jacks and I'll even be charitable enough to charge half of what this guy is asking for. Hell, I'll even throw in free postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I can make a better one with 99% Russian irradiated copper and 100% lead unfree solders for 1/3 of his asking price, but I'll have to charge £1000 GBP for the lead coffin as shipping fee.

I was thinking more of whether it was really crackly. Different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
