Cable-experts: Which cables for me?

[woude]

I need lots of new cables and I need your advice. Currently I use georgel's for guitar to amp and patchcables.

I need:

a dozen patchcables, also to replace my current georgel's
2x 15ft guitar-board, board-amp cables
2x speakercable

For the patchcables I'm looking for a good price vs performance cable; good balance across the freq. spectrum, good shielding, a bit flexable. Currently looking into the Lava Elc, but would consider Vovox if it's really making a difference.

For the guitar-board, board-amp cables I'm currently looking into the EA lyric HG. Are there cheaper alternatives? Is it really that good? Is the vovox even better?

For speaker cable I need a cable that has a good defenition in mids, tight bass and no harshness in the high freq. They are going in between my koch classictone (played mainly clean and light overdrive) and heritage g12-65 speakers. I'm looking at the kimber speakercable but I'm wondering if the EA Siren is worth the upcharge? Other alternatives?

So what would you suggest? Any advice is welcome.

Are you using a buffer? With that much cable, you're going to get some serious treble loss regardless of the cable you use. Once I get to over 20 feet or so, even with my Vovox I hear treble loss.

The ELC is a nice balanced cable - the Vovox will have a touch more bottom and a touch more top - really depends on how much $ you want to spend.

As far as speaker cables, I tried the Vovox and did not care for it - very bright. The Kimber 4VS is very nice, balanced tone from top to bottom and too much $. The Fatmax is another nice speaker cable.

Thanks for your reply - I use a buffer, but maybe it's wise to get two 9-10 feet cables and a loooper or something to keep the total cable length around 20ft.

I don't know if I need that touch more top & bottom. Really hard to say.

The Kimber looks like a winner! :-)

I recommend Zaollas.
I'm using the zaolla silverline 10ft and 15ft cables.
Gorgeous looking cables. Bit thick due to multiple shielding but very flexible. The only drawback is that they coil easily.
They're slightly less pricey than the vovox and I think its because vovox are imported cables from Swiss.

I just went to a Bradshaw system and have a bunch of Lava cables, right angle pedal cables, that I would sell from my old pedalboard. Let me know what you need. All are in great condition.
