Title: George L Cables!??
Post by: dean_m on January 20, 2004, 12:50:08 PM
Does anyone have any experience with George L solderless cables????
I was handed one at the NAMM show this past weekend.  The NAMM show is the worst place to try to do any tonal comparisons and I haven't been able to compare it to my Tara Labs cables yet.  It does sound pretty darn good for a cheap cable.
Anyone have any feedback
 
Peace,
Dino

I have not been able to give them a fair shot yet either.  But a guitarist that I work with regularly swears by them.  He is quite a player and I respect his judgement.  
 
I like them because they are small and dainty!  I will check them out soon though.

Well, you know, dela's kind of small guy, so it could be more a matter of tasteful balance and proportion :-)
 
But yeah, I can't quite see them using dainty in one of their ads (and haven't seen any of those anyway), so are we talking about the size of the plugs, or the wire, or what?

The wire that is used on those cables is quite thin.  I would bet it is thinner than the cable on your keyboard.  I don't know what gauge they are, but they are about the same diameter as your A string. Dainty.  
 
I guess dainty would be a bad word in one of their ads!

How about petite? These cables are wee.  Tiny.

Paul, dainty is like prissy, feminine, etc.
Example a lace hankie is dainty.
