The sky's the limit when it comes to how much you can spend on a high-end
cable, but the German-made KLOTZ guitar leads imported by American distributor
Kendrick Amplifiers deliver top-notch performance without taking a huge whack
out of your wallet. Featuring smooth outer jackets to resist knotting,
low-capacitance conductors to ensure your tones stay bright and pure, and
strain-relieved connectors to keep' em working reliably, KLOTZ cables are a
no-brainer for anyone who wants as little as possible coming between their
guitar and amp. We tested the 10' LaGrange model (…) with a variety of guitars
and amps, and found it to be one of the clearest and most coherent sounding
cables we've tried - not surprising considering its low total capacitance (cable
+ connectors) of 225pf. Notes spring from the speakers sounding focused and
aligned, and the note detail and top-to-bottom balance is extraordinary. The
LaGrange even brings out a little extra beefiness in the low-end - which is
truly the mark of a cable that's revealing all the sonic goodies your guitar has
to offer. - ART THOMPSON
Pros:
Exceptional clarity, focus, and detail. Doesn't twist up.
Cons: None.

The top ranked Klotz guitar cable rates a 10 out 10 in this
comparison. Its lack of coloration and almost complete neutrality set it apart
in the test. The Klotz also behaves well physically by coiling easily and
connecting solidly to the guitar and amp. Those of you accustomed to using free
guitar cables or those under $10 will think that I'm crazy to think of a $69.95,
twenty-foot Klotz as a best buy, but I'll be ordering one as soon as I finish
writing this comparison. It will now become my reference of how a guitar cable
should sound and perform. [...]
