i stood on my nice tweed cable a couple of weeks back just as i was standing up, this pulled the inner core off the connection in the jack plug.
i put it to one side and started using an old standard rubbery type cable.
i got around to repairing the tweed cable today and plugged it in, the sound from the amp was totally different, more bassy and dead sounding, so i reconnected the other cable, back to nice crisp lively sounds.
checking the cables with a multimeter, the good sounding cable had a resistance of over 10 megohms between centre and ground, whereas the tweed was only about 28k ohms.
i will check tomorrow to see if it's the cable or the plugs, by taking the cables apart again, bet it's the plugs.
worth checking your own, it makes a hell of a difference.
