That article must have been re-archived recently; I had a link to the previous 'page that had displayed that text, PLUS thumbnails that were links to the very same comparison-charts mentioned above; they were shown on the right of
that 'page.
Guess what? That same link that I had squirreled-away
now leads to the same exact 'page as that provided by Mr. Quinn above, which is now
without those thumbnail/chart/links. Hmmn, go figure!
____________________________________________________________________For your consideration- a post from another thread, on another forum, discussing this article in particular, and cables in general:
From my own experience-
Quantum cables are also very good, and have a lifetime warranty; I loved my cool lookin' blue woven-jacketed 18' Quantum, and it's woven-jacket made it far less prone to coiling, kinking and getting tangled and snarled-up. After about ten years, mine was still perfectly fine- hadn't needed the warranty, it just got stolen.

And the Planet waves cables that Don mentioned
(on another thread, on another forum) are also very nice, and many of their models have particularly nice plugs and strain-relief, etc.
I haven't tried the George L's, but a good friend who's pretty discriminating uses 'em. I have not tried the Lava, Fulltone, or Elixer cables; and the only Monster cable I've had is three feet long.
I have a 15' Zaolla with a proprietary 99.9999% (or was it 99.9997%?) pure, solid oxygen-free silver conductor and gold-plated plugs, that was given to me by a friendly Zaolla rep a few years ago; nice guy. It is a very nice cable, but it should be- it retailed for about (US) $97 at the time! It doesn't handle stiffly as you'd expect, and it has a nice right-angle plug on one end that's great for Les Pauls and Teles, and it will still fit a Strat. It gives a nice clarity that's somewhat like using a high-quality unity-gain buffer.
Hearing a difference between the 15' Zaolla and the 18' Quantum depended partly on just what you plugged into; it seemed to improve the clarity and complexity of the midrange, and somewhat subtly clean up and improve the focus of the highs and lows; and it also seemed to improve things overall when plugged into digital modeling gear. Plugging into the average amp at a loud bar gig, I don't think the differences would be all that appreciable. But having the money to afford 'em, I'd strongly consider buying another if this one walked away, as well as a few more of patch and pedal lengths.
