Hrmm - I think your just trying to avoid selling us 1/4" plugs with
black heat shrink and no cable at half price. ;)

And I did get quite the laugh out of Paul B's adding tolerance to the
cable length color code!


In all seriousness, I do have some cable question -

What color is the printed synthtech logo going to be? (Or do we pick
this also?)

For reasons that might become clear at a later date, I am leaning
toward the "ROYGBIV" (rainbow) color code / associating wavelength
with cable length. I think I want white heatshrink on all cables and
it seems like a black logo is most appropriate on white. (Which is
why I am asking - a white logo on white heatshrink and/or a black logo
on black heatshrink doesnt seem too desirable.)

Any idea how the logo will be styled? I think it would be cool to
have some symmetry in the design - like "synthesis ~ technology"
(where the ~ is supposed to be the sine wave logo thing.)

And a request - can we get some kind of demonstration of the
flexibility of this cable? (Something like, plug those sample cables
into some modules and take a pictures so we can see how the cable
"droops" with the heatshrink and all.)


Thanks!
