Subject: Stooge cables & Synthesis Technology Logo

Thanks to all for the kind words about cables. For those new to the
process, let me expand on a couple of comments.
I sell two different kinds of cable. One is the translucent cable. ALL of
these cables have the Synth Tech Logo on them. Every time you guys buy one
of those, Paul pays me for the printing charge. He basically saves you each
50 cents a cable. So, say "thanks" Paul. My original intention was to sell
ONLY these cables.
However, some of you wanted solid color cables. And, many of you wanted 3.5
mm connectors. I could not get either at any decent price from the first
vendor. So, I went to a second vendor to supply the second set of cables
which have the printing "wise guy synth" on the heatshrink. The first time
I purchased cables for you guys, over 90% of the cables were Synth Tech
Logo. I could not see paying $100 set up fee for the Synth Tech Logo for
just a few cables from vendor # 2. So, I went with the "wise guy synth"
printing for free.
In the last couple of cable runs, the percentage has been much closer to
half and half of each type. Many more of you than I ever expected are
ordering cables with 3.5 mm plugs on one or both ends. I stayed with the
"wise guy synth" printing because I thought it was a good way to help
differentiate the two types of cable when ordering.
If people would rather see the Synth Tech Logo on both types of cables, and
Paul is willing to shell out extra money for it, I could make them all Synth
Tech Logo. But, that would take a little of the Stooge out of Stooge
cables. And, it doesn't seem right to put Synth Tech logos on cables with
3.5 mm connectors to me since Paul sells nothing with those connectors.
As always, what I supply is driven by the demands of this list.
