Well, my observation from the few that have responded is that people have
their own favorite (or already purchased) cable. And, the discount for
large quantities of cable compared to the 100' quantities we all each need
does not appear to justify a bulk purchase and re-distribution.
However, many seen to agree that the Neutrik professional connectors are
the best 1/4 phone plugs. The Mouser price @ 25 is $2.41 black or nickel
satin. The Allied price is $2.27 nickel / $2.56 black for 25 to 99. So
looks like Mark's source below is the best price I have seen too. So Mark,
where did you find these at that price and what was the quantity?
I would think we could easily split up 1000 of these. I personally want at
least 50 and up to 100. I guess it depends on the quanity price breaks
from Mark's source whether is makes any sense to do a "bulk" purchase.

Hi all.
I would prefer the "roll your own" form, as I agree with Larry, the cords
would be a minimum effort, lets leave the tough stuff to Paul!
I think a bulk purchase of connectors and cables among the listmembers that
are interested should be investigated.
Here's my vote for the patchcord components, and the best prices I've seen:
Connectors:
Neutrik 1/4" Black T/S @ $1.99 ea.
Neutrik 1/4" Silver T/S @ $1.93 ea.
I believe the Neutrik connectors to be the best available, as far as
quality, speed of assembly, and value/cost ratio,
buts thats just IMHO.
