Where to get decent Coily Cables?
Have a crappy one that's just failed. Proved useful so would like a grown up one. The major retailers don't seem to have much. Any ideas?
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Not sure who it was who had bad experience with EB, but anyway I would expect this to be decent quality https://www.rockshop.co.nz/shop/ernie-b ... cable.html

The Vox one is great.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

I have a Lava retro coil which is still going strong after 10 years. The Vox ones are good too.

Re: Where to get decent Coily Cables?
I'm thinking about getting a coily cable ... mainly so I can tell which one to plug into my guitar given I seem to have a million cables laying on the floor doing various things

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
