    Default making your own interconnects

    as above,i fancy giving it a bash,ive done some reading up on the net and it would seem Mogami 2549 cable is a good choice,does anyone know where i can buy this off the reel?
    any help or tips in making them up are gratefully received!

    Just follow the party line and use Klotz AC110 or MC5000 instead. Bloody good cables once given a few hours use (I don't know why it needs it but all mine have done) and if you use the MS Starline plugs, it's easier to terminate. Pros love the stuff!

    By the way, some suitable heatshrink and a ruler to measure it would be an advantage. Brian here does a superbly neat job - and it's not a ten minute job either if you're as neat as he is.

    Was toying with making up a couple with Klotz to try - any one know this supplier and is the price about right? (£1.73 pm)

    What DSJR said http://theartofsound.net/forum/showt...t=Klotz+MC5000

    To make them helping hands or a small vice make the job a lot easier. I like mine with the shield connected to ground at the source only but opinions differ here, worth trying different arrangements.

    As a really cheap option you could try some Van Damme XKE Instrument and some Neutrik plugs, excellent VFM but bettered by MC5000 and MS Audio IMHO.

    Try a bit of Audio Note 150 AN-C http://www.hificollective.co.uk/cata...le-p-4058.html

    Lovely sounding cable. No top end nasties at all! Good value for the quality too.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Is that price per metre?

    Why not go for this: http://www.hificollective.co.uk/wire...ver-grey.html?

    Quite frankly, any microphone cable from Klotz, Gotham or Van Damme will be fine.
