Cable envy
This is a a much more serious, and debilitating, affliction in my case.
exactly. you can get 100' of mogami for like 50 bucks, and 10 neutrik connectors for 30 bucks or so, maybe a little more (connectors are expensive!)
that's 5 20' cables... not bad for less than 100 bucks, and it's quality and you won't have to fix it a lot (assuming one can solder).

They are some of the cheapest cables I have ever used. I have had several go bad in my studio while tracking. Guitar players buy them and then have problems with their petals and it ends up being their monster cables. For guitars I just use Canare GS-6 w/ the Canare connectors. It's an indestructible combination and sounds good too.MikeCzech wrote:Nothing wrong with monster

Wait this isn't about Joel's TV?
For what it's worth, I have seen the super-tight, smaller-than-spec monster RCA connectors actually rip the chassis connectors off the back of receivers and televisions, or stay stuck to the chassis connector while the solder joint was ripped apart and the cable fell free. They are also a company that sues anyone and everyone who uses the word monster in anything they do, right down to that little organization called Snow-Monster in Colorado that is a non-for-profit that brings kids from the city up to the mountains to experience skiing, snowboarding and other outdoor, winter sports. In my humble and personal opinoin, they surpass Clear-Channel in organized corporate sleaze and they're up there with Bose in misleading consumers about quality in audio reproduction. Read more here. Friends don't let friends buy monster.

I agree those Blue cables are pretty rockin' for premade strips of wire between some connectors.
For my money and tech experience I'd take Canare over Mogami for anything that's multi-pair. Mogami is good cable, but it curls up when you go to heat shrink it and the twisted multi-strand shield just gets to be a hassle when making more than one connection. If I'm just making single cables then Mogami or Canare are definitly my favorites.
