[sdiy] Sources for bulk shielded cable?

[Scott Evans, Gen Mgr]

R. D.

I can certainly understand economy in all things. I am one who also 
looks for alternative sources to control costs. However, I would not say 
that cables are one of them.

I have, in years past, worked in a studio with old and/or sub standard 
cables, and the frustration levels experienced there with attempting to 
locate hum and intermittent connection problems is a great way to thwart 
creativity in the studio. I now use only Belden cable and Switchcraft 
connectors when I build my own cables. I also have a number of ProCo 
cables as well. Quality here, IMO, is essential. Look for good prices on 
the components, but choose good ones. Just my $.02. Best of luck with 
your studio.
