Used mainly in the studio after purchase, and a little bit live. There are some stains and scratches on the exterior, but I confirmed that the sound output is not a problem. There are some white paint-like stains in places. * See photo 6 for a clearer view. They came off when rubbed with alcohol, but I didn't do it for all the spots. All are S-L, with one 5M cable and two 3M cables. The price when I bought them new was 7000-8000 yen per cable. VITAL AUDIO CAVAⅡ-Cobalt-α is the model that was the first in instrument cables to adopt cobalt plating for the connectors. Compared to conventional gold or nickel plating, it aims for a higher level of sound, such as sharpness, clarity, distinctness of each note, and richness.
