Topic: Leegeddy 'bumblebee' silver clad cable review :)

[OFOTD]

Wanted to throw a HUGE shout out to 'leegeddy' for delivering some DAMN FINE cables my way.  He had everything turned around super quick and was easier to deal with than alot of the vendors I have dealt with over the years.  On short notice he made me a pair of 15' right-angle BumbleBee, MiAgi-II or whatever he has decided to name them, a RA power plug for my V3 and a RA AES > RCA.  These cables look great.  I took some pics if anyone wants I can post them.  Marc is a great example of someone doing the community right!

With less than 24 hours to burn in we'll see how they sound for the Black Crowes tomorrow night.  I'll report back Friday on the cable  performance.

OFOTD.

well if you don't like them just send them over this way.
I feel like I am doing an injustice going back to my original cables.

I have run them a couple of times so far.  Very happy!  Nice deep bass for silver cables.  They are also very thin, which they can be rolled up and placed in a Crown Royal bag.  Takes up little space in my bag.  A great deal on a set of great sounding cables.  Thanks Marc!!  And thanks Bean for the nudge!

I had my first outing with the "bumblebee" cables last night(antibalas).  WOW!!! These cables rock, i could tell a difference listening to my jb3 in my car and my car sucks for music.  Everything on the stage is super clean, bass is nice and deep.  I can't wait to get these broken in.  For anyone that is thinking about upgrading get these cables.  Oh yeah this was with the TL's, i thought they sounded good before but now i'm blown away.

Thanks again Marc  +T

im not really sure where to post these questions, here, or in the mic forum, but i guess ill just do it here  my leegeddy cables just showed up today  and they seem to be pretty sweet, but i have a couple of questions about breakin them in:

when burning the cables in, should i just let them run on phantom power every chance i get? i let them run for about 8 hours today, but i wasnt sending much of a signal through them, does it matter how much gain i send through them or is it simply running power through them that makes the difference?

my next question is really a mic question, will my mics be ok running them for really long periods of time? i never run them for more than a typical show length, will running them for extensive periods of time cause them to get worn out at all?

also, i have a show tomorrow, how do these cables sound when theyre not at all burned in? im guessing they will still smoke my old cables (plain jane mogami cables), right? i read something that its more of a process of getting used to a new sound than anything, does anyone agree with this?

sorry if these questions are not to clear or have been answered elsewhere, thanks in advance,
aaron

No as long as you are sending power across the cables.

my next question is really a mic question, will my mics be ok running them for really long periods of time? i never run them for more than a typical show length, will running them for extensive periods of time cause them to get worn out at all?

yes/no

The cables sound great new or burned in.  I did a test when I first got my Bumblebee's.  Taped the same passage of a DAT on my home system.  Then put about 10 hours on them. Taped the same sound again and repeated this every 10 hours until I had put 51 hours on the cables.  I could tell some difference between the 0 hour and 51 hour but the difference was subtle.  Not some big in your face difference.  I was able to tell a bigger difference when I threw my old cables on.   

sorry if these questions are not to clear or have been answered elsewhere, thanks in advance,

Well they were pretty clear to me.   As I am sure someone else will chime in "Trust your ears"  See if you can tell a difference!   +t

The reason one wears a wedding ring on the third finger is that  there is supposed to be a vein which goes directly from that finger to the heart—i.e., the seat of love. Also, not everyone wears that wedding ring on the third finger of the LEFT hand. In some traditions, such as the Jewish one, it is worn on the right hand. Also, nuns ("brides of Christ") wear a wedding ring, again on the right hand.

Thats a fact!
