Seem like they will last a long time

I like the matte feel of the cable and, at 20ft, when I'm not recording, I can practice my cable wrapping (as described wonderfully in Audio Engineering 101 by Timothy Dittmar (Focal Press)) and avoid being shamed as a newb the next time I'm interning at a famous studio

It looks like it will last a long time.

I had a hard time telling the difference

How much time have I wasted fussing with buzzy cords when all I wanted to do was jam

the connection has difficulty with most cables---using a regular instrument cable last time it literally came out onstage while playing

I'm sure in an A/B blind test, you would have a hard time telling between this and an $80 Mogami cable.

I'd have a pretty hard time justifying the full list price of $60, though.
