I have been asked on the Gas Purchases thread to compare the Elixir cable to a "regular" cable.
So here we have the Elixir and Fender performance series cable.
ESP custom Eclipse with Duncan 59 to Boss TU-2 (for impedance buffer[see my other thread about this]) to BSS AR133 DI box.
Only thing changed is the cable.
The Elixir cables are now discontinued for some reason so if you want one you will need to be quick. I can hear a dramatic difference in high frequency roll off.
I have always been sceptical of expensive cables but the Elixir has absolutely changed my mind re this.
Maybe into an amp it won't make as big a difference as apparent on these DI tracks but any extra attack and sparkle makes a difference IMO.
