| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2011 Location: DC | | | I have a pair of 12 gauge LiveWire cables with oversized 1/4" plugs. They seem to work pretty well. All my gear is 1/4" except my 2 Trace cabs which also have the weird "XLR" inputs. I have the XLR cables to go with them, but no old-school Trace head to use them with. Any thoughts on the relative merits of the XLR cables? |
