Well yes, it is. We're literally on a site whose mantra is "cables don't matter" and now people are arguing that cables matter.


There really aren't.


So the site where many people say to just go and buy Monoprice cables (because they're fine) are suddenly built for all of these extremes?

Have you ever been in a studio? I think you're confusing a common recording studio with a coal mine or an oil derrick. When I mic a drum kit, the cables don't typically get touched for a week (or more). The longest cable I've ever used in a studio is 50 ft. Mechanical abuse? So people are driving cars over them?

I am frankly stunned that people are making this argument.
Worked in studios for 30 years. Nobody has ever stepped on your Mic cables?

Compare the jackets. .236" vs .04" diameter, 6 times thicker for a reason.
