JUST LIKE EDDIE

Aren’t cables pretty much all the same? I remember when HD TVs were first becoming popular the cables were expensive, but nowadays a $6 cable is just as good.

Not so much for the new HDMI 2.1 standard. The cables make a small difference and it has to due with bandwidth.

Kind of like CAT5 and 6 cables.

Whenever I buy a generic cable I ensure the thing I want to plug it into is written on the packaging.

Eddie gets a monthly check, Eddie probably doesn't even know why.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, here...

Wait, EVH stands for Eddie Van Halen?! Hahahaha he actually bought these?! Like Eddie had anything to with these things. Some Chinaman talked to Eddie's agent and Eddie gets a monthly check, Eddie probably doesn't even know why.
Black rifle coffee, Trump coasters, EVH cables. He really is a rube

Before he died, he was very involved with the company.

Yes, this is a complete sale to rubes. I played guitar growing up and some stores would sell generic cables with the stores name / logo on them and they sounded the same as the more expensive name brand cable. An effects board / pedal is one thing, cable is cable. I remember with TVs they would sell regular 4K HDMI cables which is all you need but they would have some gold plated ones for more money which were bought by idiots like Joe.

WWAWD Monster Cables. Fucking rubes.

I had like 25 of those because I used to steal them from my job at the time.

HDMI cables start failing at some point if they are made long enough. All picture quality claims & jitter talk is BS - either you get a BIT PERFECT signal or NO PICTURE - but if you need to run a high bandwidth signal say 10 meters, lesser cables, even if specced right, give you NO PICTURE.

Standard electric guitars put out a very weak high impedance signal. Cable length & purity of the copper used ACTUALLY makes a NOTICEABLE difference. No BS.

Mic level signals, for example, are also WEAK but low impedance, and you can run cable hundreds of feet without degradation unless giggin' in a tesla coil factory.

I love you, but... we're talking about guitar cables here; a grounded coaxial at-best.

What on God's green earth are you talking about, sir?
