My whole life I have used red cables, and I never thought about changing that. I December my red cable broke, and my sight is not what it use to be, so I gave up soldering it, and instead I bought at new one. The puple or lilla as we say in my country. I won¨t say I´m disappointed becasue it works so fine, but I have the feeling that my voice has become a bit bluesy since I changed the cable. But maybe I should just get used to it?
