Morgami Cable... I Like!

My trusty old guitar cable was giving up the ghost... you know, cracked shielding, random noises and pops, numbs your finger if you touch it just right. As luck would have it, I found this 10% off coupon for GuitarCenter in my recycle bin. So... a quick drive later and I was at the store staring at all sorts of monster cables. I had heard good things about Morgami, but to be honest I've always held the notion that a cable is a cable is a cable. As long as electrons will flow, it should be enough. Not saying that I go for the cheapest available, but I definitely don't buy into the $100+ monster cable urban myth.

So... what did I get? The salesdude talked me into an 18 ft Morgami Gold. Cool for $55 + tax. It has lifetime warranty, and according to the salesdude, if I wear one out every month, I would be able to get free replacements for life. Okay, I'll bite.

What's that? You don't take coupons for cables? Damnit, my evil plot foiled! I had it all planned out too, whipping it out at the last second to avoid complications. Without discount, this is a little more expensive, and yeah the profit margin on it was probably insanely high. But I had to have one and didn't the patience to scour the net for deals, wait for shipping, etc.

Guess what... when I plugged the Morgami in for the first time, I actually heard a noticeable improvement in sound quality! The highs benefited the most, with a MUCH better tone, and just a fuller sound overall. Pleasantly surprised, I am!
