Glad you agree that they're good.

A lot of guitarists spend lots of time and money buying good amps and effects and etc to get great tones, the first thing they should do is invest in some decent jacks and plugs (buy the best you can afford), since it only takes one bad jack or plug to have a detrimental effect on your tone, also buy and use decent quality cable too, a mate of mine has turned me on to using Mogami cable so hopefully this year I'll be able to buy a couple of rolls of the stuff on eBay.
