Core One Bullet Cables
by Eric Kirkland

Core One's Bullet Cables are built to last and, true to their name, feature plugs in the shape of a .44 magnum's shell casing. The Silver Bullet cable is made with multigauge copper conductors, braided copper shielding, an abrasion-resistant mesh jacket and chrome-plated nickel plugs. the 20-foot cable delivered a tame and neutral tone spectrum, with no spikes in any area of the response. No noise was evident, and the cable's high-end mesh jacket made it durable and easy to handle onstage.

Coil cables are infamous for their capacitive effect, which rolls off high end. Core One's Bullet Coil cable is different. It uses high-end audio technology to maintain a powerful signal without the treble loss associated with high-capacitance coils. Bullet Coils also use gold-plated brass plugs and have a slick outer skin like that of vintage coiled cables. The 25-foot Bullet Coil hit hard in the mids, displayed excellent bass weight and caressed high notes without squashing them. Plus, it looks badass.
