[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 41588, member: 126"] Re: Guitar Amp to DI cable question? I believe his point is that the loudspeakers will be drawing amperes and the DB milliamps. In general running the higher current path through an extra set of 1/4" connections is providing another opportunity for a bad connection. Even an apparently working speaker level connection can have enough series resistance to heat up and degrade further over time. FWIW, there are dedicated high current 1/4" speaker jacks with dual tip contacts and higher contact pressure to deliver lower contact resistance more reliably. Many 1/4" jacks designed for signal level current, are not as robust and may be unreliable passing high current. JR [/QUOTE]
