Subject: Re: [motm] Re: Some Basic Patching Questions

From: "Scott E." <yahudinyhwh@...>

I made almost all the cables for my studio. Belden and Switchcraft. It
is not that difficult. I don't find it as relaxing as building synth
modules though. I view it more a necessary task. They look nowhere near
as cool as the Stooge cables though. I hope to get some of these for the
synth that will be in use all the time.

Cables are no place to buy cheap junk. When I needed to buy some when I
had no time to build, I chose ProCo. Well built. Cheap cables don't last
long and troubleshooting a complex patch just because of a faulty cable
is a big time waster. So little time to create as it is.

Done ranting, Scott E.
