I've found the Sommer Cable Tricone MKII to be a reliable choice for various applications, offering a great balance of quality and flexibility. The cable's soft, rubbery feel makes it easy to manage and route, while its durability ensures it can withstand regular use. I've used it for both short and long runs, and it has performed well in both scenarios. The smaller diameter of the cable makes it ideal for use with pedal boards and patch cables. I've also appreciated its ease of termination and soldering. While it may be slightly more prone to kinking if not coiled properly, this has not been a significant issue for me. Overall, I'm impressed with the cable's performance and would recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality, reliable cable for their audio needs.
