Hi, I hear all the comments on a cable tester....but in the 50 plus years I have been doing electronics and now over 10 as a designer and primary support person for an electronics company I have never used one. They have merit if you do CATV and networking as the cables are often a source of problems but in audio it is simpler just to swap cables. In nearly all instances you need to disconnect both ends anyhow. Just my two cents.
For those who must own one...something that will give you both continuity and lack of shorts at the same time is the only one to have. They have two parts usually. one at the far end and a test set at the near end.
Good Listening
Bruce
