• ONLY 38 Picofarads Per Foot

That's not a lot of Picofarads!

How many picofarads should I get?

How many picofarads are best for metal? Sorry had to.

Not a problem! This is the cool kids' Amazon thread.

i guess it depends on the type of metal. Probably not this cable in general though. Wouldn't lots of picofarads cut more of the highs?

I was looking for a couple of 20' instrument cables and found these at $12.99, or 74% off list (not sure if that's a temporary or everyday price but I went for it!). There's also a yellow/brown tweed version, or you can get two straight connectors instead of one right angle. I've bought speaker cables made by GLS. Super-solid.

I bought that very cable, and although I haven’t gotten around to really using it, it seems really nice.


I got it right from Orange County Speakers where I’ve gotten dozens of XLR cables, at least a dozen of their microphones, and a few adapters and other things.


Highly recommended for budget-priced stuff that’s good enough for using out.

Sorry-- never counted them.

Probably somewhere around 760, not counting the capacitance of the ends and the solder, but those picofarads add up and pretty soon you're talking almost a nanofard. Just imagine if you used a .048 uf capacitor for tone circuit instead of a .047, scary!

Anybody know anything about Dragoon cabs? The styling on this one looks more like it should be in the bed of a pickup truck, but the specs seem good. It's odd that it appears to have 2 different size voice coils. Still, for $226, it might be worth a try. Amazon has several other Dragoon models and they're all priced in the $1000+ range.

Huh. It says it's designed and made in Italy, which makes me think it might be an actual reasonable cab. I wish I had money to burn ;-)

That's even odder... I wonder if the two speakers share a chamber or if they're isolated.

It appears to me from the looks of their website and Youtube page (and videos from others) that the bass cabs are very new. Their guitar cabs seem to have been around longer.

It's in Italian but worth a look if anyone is interested :



Interesting contraption.

It has a 4 ohm/16 ohm switch in the

I'm intrigued.

Whoa! The 212 is a grand more. I've always been a 12s and 15s guy but wow, that looks intriguing. Free shipping for Prime members...

I did - one is on order. Not just me, I see. Since I posted this a couple hours ago, Amazon has sold 8 more (7 left). The question for me was whether to start with one or jump in and order 2.
