I play bass and tried this cable against the Evidence HG. Mogami did not have the punch, clarity, or volume of Evidence. It did, however, have a false low end. But then sgain I thought the Mogami gold is better than the Platinum at a better price. Or maybe I just got a bad one? I can't recommend this cable.

No, seriously... I am a five string bassist, recording artist and still have incredible hearing (a little loss on bass frequencies on my left side due to driving around with my car window open). The Platinum with the Neutrik Silent Connector is THE BEST CABLE I have ever owned. I've had the Monsters, the molecule-aligned pure silver stuff, the esoteric stuff from names that have disappeared in the years since I've gotten them... Mogami has impressed me immensely. I gave them a look when I found out my Basson bass cabinet had Mogami wire on the inside (connecting speakers). Whew!!! Very transparent. Plugged a Strat and a Carvin in too, clear as a bell across the spectrum. Even plugged my kid's electric violin in. Nothing matches the sonic quality of the Mogami.

What else??? Oh yeah, I laughed when I saw the warning sticker on the container... You bet, I ate crow on that... I had to adjust my audio interface, my amp, my preamp and my way of thinking about cables.

I own both the Mogami Gold and Platinum series guitar cables. The gold adds some low frequency coloration to what is otherwise a very pure sound. The platinum cable takes it over the top with extremely transparent, colorless tone that will capture every nuance of your playing. I know the platinums are expensive, but they are worth every cent if you want the absolute, hands down, best sounding cable on the market. This cable is much thicker than most cables which helps add to the durability of the product.

I feel that anyone who has given this cable a bad review probably never tried it to begin with. I've been on a search for high-end cables since I first tried Mogami Gold series. I was skeptical like most with the price tag. 100+ for a high-end cable? This better do my dishes as well. Well I noticed a HUGE difference when plugging into my Framus. I still cannot get over how more lively, full my guitar and setup sounded after 1 cable upgrade. The silent jack is a great feature I cannot live without as I change from guitars throughout recording sets and at practice. In fact I like these cables so much and they are much quieter that I've removed my noise suppression unit. I can't say you'll have the same results but it felt a lot cleaner without the buffer pedal in the way. I really can't recommend these cables enough. I love Mogami and prefer it over Mon$ter cables any day. I will give Mon$ster this. The cables are built really well but you lose some tone. With Mogami you get a better cable but have to pay a little more attention to it's fine details so that it will last. Treat these cables like your high-end guitars.

Great sound quality, clear, no degradation or coloration of the tone. The only problem I've had is that while playing live the neutrik jack will come out of my guitar. I don't move around a lot and I even tried wrapping the cable around my strap, but the spring just randomly causes it to come out enough to lose signal.
