A box of patch cables was waiting for me this evening when I got home.
These are the most gorgeous patch cables I've ever seen! Larry rocks!

The Mother of all Modulars deserves the only the best cables (well, the best
that I thought were reasonably priced).

BTW, I have one bit of error to report in part numbers for the Neutrik end.
I originally reported that the number was NYS224. That number is not
correct. I ordered both the 224 and 209 from Mouser to compare (the ones
Mouser lists as Switchcraft 280 equivalent). Neither of these are the same
as the ones on our Rapco cables. The NYS224 is indeed the connector on the
limited edition Wise Guy Synth cables that some of you ordered that did not
want the translucent cables.

So, I asked Rapco about the Neutrik connector. They tell me it is actually
called NNP. I have been unable to find that connector anywhere. Amazingly
enough, not even ONE of these connector numbers can be found on the Neutrik
connector page. It appears that it may be a Rapco exclusive. Internally,
the connectors are identical. But, the barrel on the NYS224 has only one
knurl stripe and says Neutrik below that. The NNP has the familiar two
knurl stripes. I have both and prefer the look and feel of the NNP.

So, the connector is exactly what I promised and the one in the photos. It
just has a different number than I reported. BTW, if there is significant
interest in the cable DIY camp (I know you guys are out there), I could do a
group Switchcraft connector buy. Rapco has the best prices I have ever seen
on Switchcraft 280s. If there is interest, I will follow up on this.
