Looks good, quality disappointing
I bought the 'sssnake TMI 6PP Vintage Red' to replace a cable which has ceased to work (faulty jack connection).
I play acoustic guitar live and wanted a cable that appeared different to the usual black cables - to stand out from the others and to look cool, but also to provide a good quality sound.
It looks good, but that's about it.
The fabric covered cable twists and knots very easily, even after the very first time I used it and coiled it. I was very disappointed. It is very time-consuming to untwist it; of course this is not possible when you are packing away quickly after a gig.
The 1/4" jacks seem good quality though. Made by Yongsheng which is a member of the Neutrik AG Group so their quality level is high, they are made in China.
The cable was not expensive, but I suppose I should have realised that you get what you pay for. I shall invest in a better quality, more expensive cable by another manufacturer. Buying unseen is a risk and occasionally you lose out.
However, as usual, Thomann provided a top service. The cable was packaged well and arrived swiftly. Their price was competitive.

Taming the Snake!
Although there is a nice feel to it and soundwise it is a good cable , the head is a little loose which concerns me as to how much it will last. If you want a cheap and convenient cable , it is good for you but if you want to step on it I'm guessing it might be a bit on the fragile side.

Was very pleased with the lead, good sound but sadly stopped working after a year.

less good than other Thomann cables
I have always bought the plastic type Thomann cables with classic Neutrik connectors in the past. Which I have found to be very reliable (100%). However, I have had less success with these, the connectors seem of a lower quality. The cable coils less well - due to the material. Generally it feels like a less good quality product. I would recommend Thomann cables, but just not this Vintage style range. Go for the modern ones with Neutrik connectors. However, the price was cheap, so not much was lost. But no, I would not recommend this product over others available. Nor would I buy again.

Metal tips loosen to easy
This lead looks great and sounds good with no crackles or noise. For this I cannot knock the product.
However as I gig a lot the metal tops loosened up easier and easier and eventually left the connection unproteced and it became damaged.
