Equipboard's Expert Review

Reliable, great sounding cable with woven fabric coating

What makes these cables stand out is rather than the typical rubber coating, these have a woven fabric covering. They’re available in a variety of colors, from red to black to tweed. They not only look great, they are also practical, as the coating makes it very easy to unwind and untangle them. Spectraflex Original Series are available in 6, 10, 14, 18, and 21 feet.

We got our hands on a 10 ft tweed-color Spectraflex, and really enjoyed using it. There’s just something about the woven fabric coating that feels superior. The jack connectors feel solid enough, although we slightly prefer the way the connectors feel on Monster and Mogami cables. It’s a minor gripe, but the heads of the Spectraflex cable tend to get loose over time, which causes us to have to tighten them up occasionally.

The lifetime warranty Spectraflex offers is also a plus. In terms of sound, we love what we hear - or more accurately, what we don’t hear! They have a very quiet operation, with no clicks, scratches, or hums as the cable drags around on the floor.

Bottom Line: If you’re looking for a quality cable, Spectraflex Original Series is a great choice, especially if you’re drawn to the woven fabric covering and color selection. If the fabric covering is not for you, then we would suggest Monster or George L over this one, since the connectors on those are slightly more hassle-free.

Great cable at any length.

I have several Spectraflex Original cables of various lengths and plug ends. My oldest Spectraflex is over 17 years old and still produces a strong, clear signal. High quality plugs make solid connection with guitar, amp, and effects. Not exactly cheap, but guaranteed to give you years of use. Lots of great colors to choose! Without doubt it's the best cable I've ever used.

they don't break

I still have a long, green specraflex around from the 90s... it has never broken. Cable sound quality is pretty good though there is better stuff available these days with lower capacitance etc. Nice switchcraft straight 1/4" jacks. If you don't like coily cables still recommend a spectraflex to go from your guitar to your pedal board (or in my case, tuner). THey don't break when stepped on and they tangle less than cables without the fabric coating.
