Hi Friends,
I'm new here, so I hope I'm doing this correctly.
I just wanted to point out that, here in the US, we call a lead a "cord." It took me a couple of paragraphs to understand what the topic was all about.
Fantastic article, though. I knew that a cord (lead) could affect one's sound, but I did not realize that the effect could be so profound. Thanks for the article and for a great site!!!
