Sorry I'm a bit of an amature with this[/quote] Personally speaking, I think that cable is 'cheap' - the wire is only 1.25mm x 2 and I'd be wanting wire something like 4.0mm x 2. Send a PM to our very own master cable maker - OBBM - and tell him what you want, he does a quality product at a great price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platypus Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) I can't comment on the cable you refer to, though most here would be happier with one of these [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Klotz-Speakon-Bass-Amp-Speaker-Cable-1m-/290087095614?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item438a89cd3e"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Klotz-Speakon-Bass-A...=item438a89cd3e[/url] That eBay seller is Basschat member OBBM and his cables are excellent and prices very good Folks were suggesting that you contact him by PM [quote name='2008escottp' post='1107618' date='Jan 29 2011, 09:04 PM']Sorry I've never heard of them, where can I buy them from?

Alec Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I always use the 4 pole Speakons rather than the 2 pole ones - much easier to insert & remove. Yes, 1.25mm cable is probably slightly on the lightweight side, 2.5mm would be fine, 4mm would be ample. Also, do you really need a 2m speaker lead? Much better to get it the right size - though more for convenience than performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I get my local studio to make mine up and he uses the same cable as he wires all his stuff with. I am happy with that quality and the prices. I'd be tempted with the above recommendations. I am not tempted by most stuff from most shops.

JTUK Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Can't really sense the tone here from this post but I am sure there are many places that do quality leads, but I deffo wouldn't start with leads from your average shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
