Yeah, I'm guessing that it will be more difficult to find pre-manufactured cables under a foot in length. The Blacet kits are excellent quality and reasonably priced, and you can color code your heatshrink this way. If anyone's looking for a good deal on 1/8" cables, I've been buying them lately from www.debcoelectronics.com. They only have 2 ft and 6 ft lengths and are molded "made in china" types, but they are *ridiculously* cheap ($.89 and $1.29 respectively) and seem to have worked well so far for me (been using them about 6 months now). Debco seems to be a mom and pop business and I highly recommend them, good service and some really good deals... check the clearance section. ---Ben PS---Analoguehaven is indeed awesome as well!
