Those are great cables. I love the Evidence Audio stuff. David Gilmour uses the Lyric HG and the Melody for live performances. It really gives you more of everything frequency wise, but the first thing I noticed was a significant bump in the midrange and highs. I used the Melody and the Lyric for a while, but the Zaolla cable just sounds that little bit better, but it also has a more responsive feel to it that just makes it more fun to play. I know that is a pretty unscientific assessment. I like both of them a lot though. I would use Evidence cables above anything else, except Zaolla and it's not by a landslide. I want to check out the newer Forte cable Evidence is producing. I got to try new stuff or I might be missing out, right? FYI, if you want to save some money on interconnects it is important to convert the high impedance signal coming out of your guitar into a low impedance one. Active pickups are excluded since they are already outputting a low impedance signal. For passive pickups you want to plug into something that has a buffer circuit that will convert the signal. It could be a tuner, compressor, effects, box etc...The result is that the signal will not be as susceptible to cable capacitance and long signal chains. So if you have a high quality cable going from your guitar to the buffer you are good. It almost doesn't matter at all what kind of cable you use after it buffers down to a low impedance signal. Check this video out. It really shows the differences in signal transfer of a low impedance signal. It is for a circuit called the Redeemer that installs right into your guitar. It's almost like active electronics...You can get great tone out of an old ratty extension cord? What??? It's an eye opener.Mikal69 said:
