About DAddario Accessories Cable, Black, 10 feet (PW-CGTRA-10)
Overall Feedback:
77% positive
71% liked the lightweight and easy-to-handle design
I bought a few of these cables to use in a church environment where things get abused more than I would like, and so far they have held up well.
71% appreciated its wide compatibility, though 29% experienced compatibility issues
The cable I prefer is cheaper and non-gold plated, although it may not have the same capacitance and noise rejection as the Planet Waves American Stage cable.
I had the same problem even after switching the cable.
I would not use this type of cable on stage as it is not robust enough to handle being coiled and uncoiled and walked on.
I experienced signal fading repeatedly while using the cable and had to wiggle it to get the signal back. I tried several backup cables and they worked fine without any loss of signal or cut-off.
70% liked the secure and reliable connections, while 30% experienced loose connections
After 22 months of light use in my studio, I have complained that the connection at the right angle plug is bad due to an internal problem with the connector.
After 6-7 months of light use at home, the cable started to cut out.
I had to wiggle the cable to get the signal back as it kept fading. Other cables worked fine.
I have noticed that the right angle end of the cable has a problem and the signal goes through intermittently.
73% found it extremely durable, though 27% encountered fraying
I am satisfied with the quality and functionality of the product and found no flaws or problems. Based on my experience, I can say that.
I have purchased a few cables and found that they generally last about a year before needing replacement due to factors such as stress from plugging and unplugging, shorts where the cables flex, and general degradation.
I prefer the cheaper non-gold plated cable because the gold plating wears off after repeated insert/remove process and it is not useful unless the socket is also gold plated.
I noticed that the instrument-cables are not as durable as they usually are.

69% liked its flexibility and ease of handling, but 31% found it too stiff
The cable is not robust enough to handle being coiled and uncoiled and walked on, so I would not use it on stage.
82% appreciated the ideal length and portability, though 18% found it too short
I need a short 5 cable for my new traveller guitar.
I was concerned about the light gauge and feel of the cable when I received it.
69% praised for its effective shielding, though 31% detected signal degradation
I found out through research that the amp is sensitive to surrounding electronics and requires shielded instrument cables to limit electrical interference.
I bought a few of these to use in a church environment and they have held up well despite being abused more than I would like.
The cable sounds good with less noise floor than Warwick cables and more clarity than Warwick & Bespeco cables.
While using the cable, I noticed that the signal faded repeatedly. However, other cables did not have any issues with the signal.

69% praised for its crystal-clear signal, while 31% experienced interference
I noticed that there is no feedback when using this instrument cable with my amplifier, foot pedal and RC-3 loop station.
When using this instrument cable with my amplifier, foot pedal and RC-3 loop station, there is no feedback.
The signal quality of the cable is poor and it keeps fading repeatedly. I tried to fix it by wiggling the cable but it still had the same issue. Other cables worked fine. Based on my experience, it is a poor quality cable.
After 22 months of light use in my studio, I noticed that the connection at the right angle plug is bad. The problem seems to be internal to the connector.
