Mogami W2524 Instrument Cable
The Mogami name is synonymous with high quality and is used worldwide in the best recording studios. With a diameter of only 6mm / 0.236 inches, this cable was designed for excellent sound in a durable package. Using high purity copper shielding ensures very low noise, while the high purity copper center conductor conveys ultimate tone. The cross-linked polyethylene dielectric is heat resistant and will not shrink as quickly as pvc. This Mogami cable is designed to prevent microphonics with a conductive carbon impregnated polymer sub-shield placed under the shield conductor. If you want the best cable to go from your instrument to your rig, then this is it.
Note: The carbon impregnated polymer subshield should be removed prior to soldering on connectors. Otherwise there is a potential for signal degradation.
Price is Per Foot
Very good audio wire. Fast shipping

Good cable. Low noise and good sound quality. I've made 3 cables with it so far. Much cheaper than buying a pre made cable. I recommend the Neutrik plugs as well.

Great quality and easy to make your own custom cables.

Great cable! Highly recommend this if you're planning on making your own guitar cables. Pair it with some Neutrik plugs and you'll have yourself some high quality cables. And they're going to cost you at least half of what you'll pay for the same or lesser quality cables available in retail.

I recently purchased this cable and followed the "How to Build a Better Instrument Cable" instructions to make some custom cables for my guitar rig. This cable feels great and sounds good too. It is clear that this is a high quality product.

The conductors are nice N thick. No stupid basket style weaving on the shielding, so very easy to prepare for soldering. The shields are heat resistant... cable is breeze to solder unlike cheaper stuff.

Best guitar cable!!!

Microphonics in cables, jacks & test prods are caused by the piezo electric effect and the tribo-electric effect. The semicon layer in the Mogami cable reduces both greatly. The spiral wrapped shield is both easy to work with and it provides a superior level of shielding. I use this and a smaller diameter single conductor mic cable made by Mogami inside guitar amps too. It makes a good shielded leads to feed early gain stage grids, gates or bases. It also makes good patch cords too.

I recently built a 5e3 deluxe amp. I love the tone, but it had a lot of 60 cycle hum. After additional shielding it continued to hum. I figured I just needed to accept it. But then my cable broke and I made a cable with this wire - and now the Hum is gone! I can't recommend it enough.
