The quality increase happens everywhere in your rig up until the output of the head. At least for signal generation. Excluding how cabinets sound and how much better ampegs are than anything else. |

Bassists know better than that, right?

Much more out there.
P.S. - that was the unwritten joke in the first pages of your thread........"look elsewhere, it's not your cables"

High definition is primarily a term applicable to the digital realm. Sampling rate & depths for audio. Resolution, pixel density, color depth, etc for visual media.
Btw, "hi-def" digital audio carriers are often two conductors. Sometimes just one. (Toslink, for example.) |

If i could find a cab of another brand that has a low freq output of 28Hz or lower id check it out. My only problem is that i dont have the 28Hz available to push. My head only does 48Hz. Idk how itd apply when tuning your low b down to an E0(which is 20.6Hz). It may just push out harmonics or octaves of the same note. Idk. |

You can't hear those frequencies anyway, you feel them.
And I am 100% sure your cab which "rated down to 28hz" will not put it out at any appreciable volume anyway.
Do a search here for "waterfall plot" to see what is really going on.

Or that frequencies that low turn to stage mud and can destroy the overall mix?
