Unbelievable quality cable, easily one of the best I have seen. The cable itself is very durable and well insulated. The plugs are also very strong and well made, adding to the quality and reliability of the product. In the past few years I have tried many of the expensive cable brands, including George L, Eminence, Lava etc. While it is true that the cable can sometimes be the weak link in the chain of your rig, in my opinion it is also true that you really don't need to spend crazy money on cables that at best will represent a marginal improvement. The Sommer is the proof of this for me and I do not intend to spend more money for cables in the future
