Mogami Gold Instrument 18R Guitar Instrument Cable, Straight 1/4" to R/A Male Plugs, Gold Contacts, 18 Foot, Guitar Cable with OFC Core, Anti-Noise Shielding, Pro Audio Quality

In my experience with many different types and qualities of instrument cables, I have found Mogami to be unparalleled in terms of their build quality, durability, near-silent operation, and seamless reproduction of my instrument's tone profile without coloration. Prior to discovering this brand, I begrudgingly purchased Monster cables under the false assumption that they were better than anything else on the market. Once I learned that one of my favorite guitarists uses these cables religiously, I decided to give Mogami a chance.In short, doing so was the best decision I have made in building my collection of high-quality cables. Performance-wise, these put Monster cables to shame with flawless sound reproduction and virtually silent handling. With respect to reliability, these once again far outshine anything Monster or their competitors have to offer. While I admittedly liked the fully gold-plated design of the Monster cables, I found the interface between the solid metal connector and the cable to be a weak point in the construction, and as such, needed to replace a single cable twice within the span of three years. With Mogami cables, I have not once experienced an issue with build quality in the nearly 2 years I have owned this product. The contacts are VERY heavy-duty and will hold up for years regardless of whether you're a bedroom studio audiophile like myself or a touring musician.PROS:1. Heavy duty construction with no obvious weak joints to fail unexpectedly2. Crystal-clear sound transmission with minimal interference or handling-noise3. Great durability, reliability, and qualityCons:1. These cables have a somewhat intimidating price-point; however, this is certainly a case of "you get what you pay for."2. If you currently use transistor/solid-state equipment, you might not experience the full benefit of upgrading your cables beyond the "midrange" options available from other companies. These cables truly shine when playing through valve state equipment or high quality studio gear.Overall:A must buy for any musican who is serious about every facet of their rig and is willing to shell out a bit of cash for truly outstanding gear. Not advised, however, for those playing through entry-level equipment. I hope all of you enjoy these cables as much as I do.

I got these for a monitor, sub set up and these completely removed the audio static from a no name brand I bought. Plus they made everything sound full.

Quality of the cable is great in my opinion, i have had this for a year now and still no buzzing sounds. So it is durable. I use it for recording my songs and it does a great job! Would certainly recommend!

Excellent buying

it's nice to know you have a cable that will never break and keeps the fidelity of your tone.

i have a couple of these guitar cords and they are really good and last. The ones i have i purchased 6-8 years ago and I’m still using them. This was as a gift , they were good quality back then hopefully they still are

Works great. Subtle tones get to the amp.

Recently batch recorded content for a course. This cable connected to my shotgun mic saved the day on multiple occurrences where a different branded cable connected to my studio mic caused sputtering that was captured in the final recording. Even with a higher price tag, it's cheaper than having to organize re-shooting content due to bad cables. Mogami, you've earned my trust and respect. Cheers.
