Re: [wiardgroup] Short Cables

2005-08-04 by Ben Vehorn

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.

PS---Analoguehaven is indeed awesome as well!
