AST-P10-RSG Pro Studio Series Straight to Right Angle Instrument Cable - 10 foot Purple/Gold Review

Ultimate Clarity

The marketing is NOT snake oil salesmanship. In a side by side study of several high end cables, the Asterope was the surprise of the bunch. The clarity was incredible and the cable let the brightness pass right through uninhibited. No disappointments.

Amazing

I bought this cable after a couple of years of not wanting to spend the money for this audio cable. The turning point for me was one of my favorite guitarist (David Grissom) endorsed this cable. I play very high end guitars and amps. I have several different types of cables from el cheapo to Mogami which is a good cable. I bought two of these cables 10' one with angle end to accommodate… read more some guitars and one 10' with straight ends to accommodate the others. I did not believe the claims initially~ I'm now a believer and am absolutely blown away. The tone is not brittle or muddy a true reflection of my guitars tone. I highly recommend this cable if you can afford it buy it.,

Asterope Cables

Although I've always been skeptical over the claims of the high end cable companies, I'm happy to report this cable is audibly superior to any of the other high end cables I've tried.Coupled with a humbucker equipped David Grissom PRS guitar directly to my amplifier or pedalboard- this is the most transparent cable I've found for reproducing the true sound of a guitar.The difference… read more is particularly noticeable in the mids and upper mids. As a matter of fact- playing my Telecaster through it requires a slight roll-off of the trebles!Though expensive, I think there is a good deal of truth to the manufacturer's claims... I've also played my P-Bass through it, and the sound is crystal clear.Only criticism is the cable is quite thick and stiff. Not a problem for studio use- but performers might not like it for live work.All in all, worth the money if you're picky about your tone.

High end instrument cable

I have been using Asterope cables since their beginning, some years ago. They are especially great in the studio or home setting where it's easier to hear the effect of high end cables. Comparison with inexpensive stuff is revealing--better overall bandwidth, more highs and lows, never harsh, good bass with clarity, and overall a pleasing musical sound. I have also noted that… read more these cables have consistently seemed louder than others--enough to notice--and with great dynamics. I like them for acoustic electric guitar as well as electrics. Note that they are directional cables and take some time to break in, although they do sound good right out of the package. In time, they do open up and smooth out really nice. If this kind of thing matters to you, they are a good buy. I use them all the time.

Asterope Instrument Cable

I have been using Asterope cables for about 3 years. This is one rugged cable . The signal is excellent. According to Asterope their cables are directional, the arrows painted on the cable ends show the direction they should be plugged in. I've never had to replace an asterope cable.
