Guitarist David Grissom chooses Asterope cables
(Dave Molter | Posted 2010-10-04)
Highly respected guitarist David Grissom is the latest artist to choose Asterope instrument cables as his cable of choice for performances
and studio recordings. Grissom recently tested the Asterope cable against his previous favorite, a
cable he had used for more than seven years, before switching to Asterope.
In addition to his solo recording career, David Grissom has recorded and toured with a
wide variety of other legendary artists. He is known for his early work with Joe Ely, after which
he went on to perform with John Mellencamp. He then formed the critically acclaimed
Storyville. He has toured or played with the Allman Brothers, the Dixie Chicks, John Mayall,
Robben Ford, James McMurtry, Montgomery Gentry, Buddy Guy, LeeAnn Womack and
Martina McBride.
“A friend recommended Asterope to me,” said David Grissom. “I was very
skeptical about ‘yet another cable.’ When I A/B’ed it against my favorite cable – one I had been
using for seven years – I could hear a big difference. Asterope was the clear winner. It has
warmer, fatter highs and clearer lows. Today, I use Asterope every time I play.”
“David Grissom represents the type of iconic artist that is becoming the hallmark of our
brand,” said Dariush Rad, Asterope founder and CEO. “Our goal as a company is to provide
musicians with the best sound possible and to help them experience their music in a whole new
way.”
