I use them as interconnects and have been really happy. They are extremely sturdy as mentioned above and this is what sold me on the cables. On the down side, I opened them up to give a look at whats going on inside and I noticed that the cables weren't heat shrinked or packaged all that well. While this may have some sonic disfunction, the sturdyness of the cables far out ways this aspect, IMO. While the arguement of sonic benefit of silver cables for PA recording is well documented, the fuction of the sturdy cable made the sale for me. I like knowing that everything in bag is going to hold up as I walk from my car to the show, with the only thing needing to be connected are the battery cables.
