Many people on this list, myself included, have gotten excellent prices &
service from Wacky Kovacky. You might try there:

Mr. K will make cables to your specifications with color-coded heat-shrink
strain reliefs. Sometimes he even puts fun little items in the shipping
cartons.

I've made cables in the past and found it to be a whole lotta No Fun. So for
what he's asking, I buy from him. I love DIY, but I have to pick my battles
these days! ;)

Subject:[motm] Patch cord help

Ok, well I have my soldering iron, my heat gun, and even my Panavise.
I have modules coming in and solder is flying. What I do not have
is patch cords. I visited the local music store and they can get
expensive.

I would like to assemble my own patch cords and I want quality coax
and plugs. What brand of 1/4 inch plugs should I use and what brand
and size of coax? Should I even assemble my own? I assume that it
is cheaper to do so.

Are there manufactured patch cords that are high quality that are
recommended?

Opinions please.

Thanks
Andy
