I agree with this in principle. In practice, I've never had an
intermittent Hosa, but I do take good care with them (no yanking by
the wire). Curiously, I did have an intermitant .com cable, which I
opend up and re-soldered.
BTW, I've only had the Hosas for not quite two years. I can't speak
to their longevity. Can't find the 3' version anymore.
