Is this a bit over the top?

i think all the expensive cords are a waste of $ unless you're gigging in a band or something.

 

How would that make the sound better?

 

I dont even want to think about how much they might cost.

 

Friend of mine has some, and has made some (he's an electrical kinda dude). They were advertised at the time to help shield the signal. Guess they've dropped that way of thinking. But, I will say they look awesome . Plus, they don't get tangled up, don't get crimped. Also, the strain relief on them is great. Keeps the cord locked into the connector, can't twist around, can't pull out. Armored cable also makes one special piece, but it can be copied.

Bad: Heavy, expensive.

Ebay watch. Armoured cables

 

There are no sharp edges on them. You'd have to feel em to believe it. Won't hurt it any more than a standard cable end whacking against it...when it happens. Trust me guys, they really do work pretty well.

 

I was thinking the exact same thing. There is no way that I am putting a metal cable between my strap and the body of my Lakland.

"Now serving strange idea number 12....."

 

The only technical info. I saw on their web-site was the length of the cables.

In the absence of any real information, I would file these cables in the "Hype/Looks-Cool/Expensive" category.

To me it seems a little unneccesary, especially if they cost more than $25. But if someone says they are really good, I might try one out, and buy it if I like it.
