I bought these cables as an addition to my touring collection, thinking i just gave it a try. So far, i'm not disappointed and even a little impressed. The quality of the cable and the connectors far exceeds my expectation. Perhaps the connectors aren't as durable as Neutrik ones, but i haven't had a single failure in the years i'm using them now for live and studio purposes. If your an semi-pro engineer like me, with 40+ gigs a year and a lot of studiowork, the Pro Snake cables are worth your consideration.
