Hard to beat the quality.
Been using George L's for about 30 years now. even though some of them are 30 years old they still seem to sound fuller and better than anything else I have purchased lately. I ordered some more ends as I am building a few more boards to leave with my bands in their trailers and decided to use George L. the new ends with the covers is a really nice add and keeps them tight for sure.
George L's
I've always built my own racks and getting the right size cables and dealing with their weight has always been an issue. Then I found George L's. 1/3 the weight and any length I need. And then there's the bonus:
The most crystal clear sound I've ever hear from my rack. So bright and clear I had to go back through all the amp settings and reduce the treble. Detail in the strings comes through beautifully now. Oddly enough, now the tone control on the guitar actually controls tone.
You do have to put them together yourself but it's soooo much easier than soldering. You'll need a cable tester and for shorter cables you'll need one cable, of any brand, that actually works and a double female cable extension [both of which available from Sweetwater]. Always test the cables. Only two things can go wrong: 1. You didn't get the cable all the way in and 2. You didn't screw the screw in enough. Both easily fixable with no waste.
Not real good with long runs but anything short of 5 ft and you will be more than pleasantly surprised..
And nobody beats Sweetwaters price---not even George L. So say "Thank you" to your Sweetwater rep.
PS---No more radio frequencies either..
Worth it
I was shocked at how easy they were to put together. Really narrow cables and small connectors made my pedalboard build easy.
Tough to get right
I've made the right angle George L's before; this was the first time with the straight plugs. Fortunately I also bought a Mackie cable tester, which makes all the difference. Without using a cable tester it's pure trial and error. I would not recommend these if you do not have a cable tester as you build them. Also 2 of the 10 plugs were DOA.
Avoid the straight plugs!
After spending multiple hours attempting to put these together, I've found that the straight plugs are horrendous. The angled ones work fine; I managed to put together right angle + right angle patch cables with no issues at all. However, getting a proper grounded connection with the straight plugs is near impossible. The George Ls website simply says "don't screw the set screw in too far" but has no indications as to what distance is the proper amount, leading to you having to just guess and see if you're right. I was checking for continuity with a multimeter, and through multiple attempts I was only able to get full continuity on 3 cables. On the rest, I would get tip-to-tip but not sleeve-to-sleeve, which is indicative of a faulty grounding issue. I'd highly recommend you either solder your own cables, or (if you're gonna go solderless) just stick with the right angle connectors and plan your board accordingly.
