I'm a musician and have been in the field for over 12 years. One complain I always had are cables. You could never get proper cables and they always look to crap out when you go live and have a gig, which is very embarrassing needless to say. I hate the cracking sound you get when you twiggle the cable and it broken or slack.
I bought 2 of these 20' George L cables - one from my guitar to pedalboard and the other from pedalboard to house board/mixer.
The cable itself has a solid coating which really protects the cable. The 1/4 connector is sturdy and has a way of 'snapping' in when you jack it into your guitar. Don't forget crappy connection is two fold - you need a good cable AND you need to make sure the jacks on your guitar, keyboard, etc are good also.
I get absolutely no noise (hiss, etc) from these cables. I recommend these...
