That's a tough one man, I could see it if you had 50' cable runs but not 25'
Perhaps the cable is defective? I'd be looking for a replacement if I were you. If not, you could try a buffer to boost the signal

I have found Lava to be the clearest and retain the most highs on any cable. I use Clear Connect and those are the clearest but the Ultramafic is next in line.
How long was your old cable? Sure about the lower capacity? Can't find any pF/ft info on that Lava cable.
Sounds desirable if you want to replicate that coily-cable Jimi Hendrix tone?
Not had any issues from my Lava Ultramafic patch leads whatsoever... In-fact they're top-notch 
i think the lava gives you back the lows that are missing in cheaper cables ...

Which you Hi Pass in the mix, haha.
Guitars are meant to Treble it seems. I've run into this with acoustic guitar. You get a $150 cable and it sounds rich and amazing in person.
But you have to hi pass it in the mix. So, $150 down the drain after all.

No cable can do anything to the lows.
The reason my white coily-cable sounds like it's "lower" that regular cables is that it zaps the high's out of the signal acting like a low pass filter.
