FWIW:
I often use the higher-quality Hosa MIDI/DIN cables (all pins are
connected); they have stress relief and metal plugs. The cable is flexible
and hangs well, and I've had no problems or failures.
I own quite a few of the Horizon cables, and I've had a couple fail over
time, especially the longer ones (i.e. the ones I step on more often).
They're o.k., but Kovac's feel a lot better. Kovac's cable is a bit more
stiff which is nice when patching.
The Switchcraft plugs John uses, btw, have the "Switchcraft" name stamped
into the metal, so that may be one way to tell... They may have plugs
without their name too, I don't know.
