Since Paul's been harassing me to change over from Banana jacks to 1/4" I've
been checking this stuff out.

Talk about Wacky! I thought I remembered you quoting this price ($5.00 each)
but when I looked at his site a couple of weeks ago, I thought he had posted
$8.00 for 1' cords. I also noticed that he specified lengths of 1', 3' and 5'
and longer, whereas I would want cords of a few different lengths between 1'
and 3' -- am I wrong? Did his prices go up? I noticed he offered packages of
cables, and it might be useful if he offered a MOTM package of say 8 to 10
cables between 1' and 3' -- any thoughts here?

And surely an improvement over many cables I currently use!
