Brilliant, best cables I've ever used...
Where Obtained: Dawsons
Features:
It's a cable...right angle jack on the non shielded side, and both jacks are 24 carat gold plated.
Durability:
These cables withstand anything...setup also has quietened down as well. They are expensive, but they're probably the most durable cables on the market next to Monsters stuff. I actually reckon they're better, construction wise.

These are the best cables I ever used.
Price: $25.00 EURO (new)
Where Obtained: Key Music Sint-Niklaas Belgium
Features:
These cables are really good, goldware terminals and an interesting feature is the little black knob to cut the contact. So no more turning down the potmeters before unplugging the bass! The jacks are real tight due to the design and the cables are very well shielded. They're a bit stiff but this shows how thick the insulation is.
Durability:
Very safe for gigs and rehearsals.

Basic monster Cables do a much better job, and are cheaper!
Features:
Retaining system holds to input jack better than common.
Durability:
Shielding picks ALL AND ANY RF FREQUENCY! So i consider that to be part of durability because when some cables are worn they do this. But this was brand new.

I bought one of these cables and haven't looked back. The best feature is definately the compression springs for a solid connection to all your gear. I'm a lot less worried about jumping around so much now! ;o) I haven't bumped into the shielding problem mentioned in another review, that may just be to do with location rather than the cable but I do have a lot of local radio stations around here. I say buy one and enjoy some serious cabling! :o)

I looked at several other high end cables. The planet waves exceeded the others in sound reproduction and value. Highly recomend.

Very well built, This is a cable that is to be connected 1 way only for proper shielding and audio response. Ends are well marked. Lifetime warranty.

I love the terminals on these cables and the nice construction but they REALLY need to create a new type of sheilding covering the cables because I was picking up country music through my amp when they were plugged in. They act like an antenna. I WILL NOT use these for any recording purposes and only for jamming alone or with friends. I wrote the company an email suggesting they rethink their sheilding as well. I know that it was the cables becuase I switched back to my old cheap cables and problem was gone. So be aware that all though they look nice and have nice design... sound quality may not be up to par for anyone serious in quality sound.

Where Obtained: Kincaids Music
Features:
I bought the cables mostly due to the fact that I like the terminals with the spring compressors because they really help to make a good connection and hold cables firmly in place. I also thought they might be a little better quality than the cheap ones I had been using. I use it to connect my Peavey bass to my amp. The only thing these cables need is better sheilding.
Durability:
These are guality constructed cables that have a nice tension release design on the plugs rather than the normal screw on metal housings and they are very flexible. I would say they could withstand a lot of abuse.
