In addition to being an endorser of their cables and products, Joseph is currently featured on the Analysis-Plus Cables website. Help support this wonderful company and find a dealer near you to try these cables for yourself!
“It amazes me that players will spend a fortune on instruments, speakers, pre/power amps and yet with all that high-end gear, they will use a cheap instrument/mic cable to connect the source. I’ve experimented with many of the “name brand cables” and nothing holds a candle to the Analysis Plus Cables. If you think cables don’t matter, plug in and listen to the AP cables. Record and analyze the audio wave form and you will see more transients, better definition, and tone. Analysis Plus is the bomb!.” - JPM
