Guitar amp to cab cable.
Hi slutz i m researching what cable to use between my tube guitar amp and my 2x12 cabinet in my studio.

I read using an instrument cable can damage the amp and speakers.
What s the best 1 4 cable brand gauge etc to connect a guitar amp head to a speaker cabinet.
Most orders are eligible for free shipping.
Audiophiles and musicians have been very gullible.
Unshielded at least 12 gauge.
Most importantly always use a speaker cable when connecting an amp head to a speaker cabinet.
The better connectors are some 3 4 times the price of jacks and i doubt will ever have the same economies of scale nor be as common.

The guitar industry as a whole and especially its customer is rabidly conservative small c and cost conscious.
Here is the li.
I have a run of under 10 feet.
