I don't see how that is shown in your above statement, but you are
certainly entitled to your opinion.

Imho, the inelegance is that you need too keep all of these different
adapters and Y-cables, and sift through them to find the cable you want, as
opposed to only one type of cable. I've used Radio Shack cables in the
past and they simply are not reliable. They aren't shielded very well
either, and afaik, they only come in one color. I try not to buy anything
cheap so I don't have to buy anything twice. I have a rainbow of
American-made cables with Neutrik ends you could beat with a hammer. One
of the reasons I chose MOTM is because it is clean and reliable, and a
chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
