Allies  Vemuram 6.80 Custom Cable, BPB-SST/LST15ft

Vemuram decided to select the “Double-Spiral Shield” method for Their Allies Cables.  The double-spiral cables tend to work for the guitar players using them on stage.  It works well to reduce the excess noise while keeping sufficient flexibility in the cable.

Plus, the sound was very natural.  For roughly three years, we tested all of the possibilities regarding density and the strength of the copper wire.  At the same time, we were developing our Allies plugs, combining both the cables and plugs to test and search for the sweet spot.  The flexibility and the noise balance were also determining factors.

Instead of lowering the capacitance, Vemuram, mainly focused on testing and comparing the actual sound/tone of the cables by ear.  As a result, They figured out that the lowest capacitance cables were not the best and suitable sounding for guitar cables.  To achieve the sweet spot they figured it needed a fixed amount of capacitance.

Through countless trials and errors, Vemuram came to a conclusion to proceed with a straight and natural sounding cable.  Of course, it’s simple to explain in words, but this nuance can be defined differently by certain people. So, the question is “What is the foundation for getting started to develop the ideal sounding cables?”

Cable engineers are not top pro-musicians, They don’t have the experience of playing over 100+ gigs a year or even being able to play in a sold-out arena.  What was achieved was to ask new friends and top guitar players to test them in their live gigging situations. We asked how the cables sounded, what they would accept and desire in a cable, not only the tone but what features would make it a much more usable product for touring musicians.
