MOTM

Ok, 

Being new, and having NOT gone thru ALL the archives, and alergic to cats....

What are the opinions on patch cables?  Good lengths?  Good brands - audio - CV?
Switchcraft connectors...Neutrik...Rat Shack? Colors?  Does purple Apogee actually sound
better than grey Belden?  Will my power be better if I use that cool cable from
my G3?  Will using a black one on my G3 cause it to crash?

I know that Hosa cable sounds like crap. Heck just running audio thru one of their turn-arounds
is enough to make you go....HUH?!!!  I made a bunch of patch cables for my System 100m out of
Mogami, it was left-over from a studio install.  So it was overkill - it was free.  Does free
sound better overall?

Am I making too much out of this?  Have I nothing else better to do?  

Someone please help. 

Seriously tho....just looking for some opinions.  Never having owned a modular of such substance,
you cannot scrimp on the little things.
