Have you guys seen this video?


I really don't understand how a cable can make your instrument sound much different than a regular cable but I guess I'll find out here soon when I get mine.
It can't. Notice how Elixir has comments disabled on that video. They didn't want the bad press of getting slandered for such a bulls*** video! :scowl:

Cable capacitance causes attenuation of the signal resulting in the highs being rolled off. They tested against a cable with higher capacitance (Monster Rock?), and probably EQed to accentuate the difference.
