[sdiy] preferred shielded cable, connectors

[James Patchell]

For my patch cables, I use the Neutrik 1/4" plugs.  For cable, I use what 
ever I can find at the only electronics store left in town, so I can see 
what the shielding looks like.  I get what is called microphone cable, but 
I like the stuff that has the shied wrapped about the center conductor 
rather than braided.  The braid takes longer to undo, and thus increases 
the assembly times.  With the wrapped shield, I can make twice as many 
cables per hour.  And by wrapped, I am not talking about wrapped in 
aluminum, but rather individual copper wires...I am sure you have all seen 
this....
