Using 99.999% OFC low-strand-count copper conductors this Lava cable has been designed to provide world-class sonic performance. Its nostalgic coils bring you back to previous decades when it was hip to be coiled. Famous American guitarist Reeves Gabrels says it s the best sounding coil cable out there. Alex Auxier of Orange Amplification says Lava s Retro coil cable delivers great sound and of course looks amazing with an Orange amp but it offers a utilitarian advantage as well. The coiling makes for no more hassles when bundling and removes the need to worry about getting caught up in messy cords on stage. I d recommend the Lava Retro coil before any other. 1/4 straight to 1/4 straight connections.
