Hello. I'm wondering if there are different qualities fo optical cables. If so, are there any brands you can recommend?
(My local store has fostex (cheap) and Audio-Technica (more than twice the price)).
thanks

Cables and Connectors
Forums
It's high time I started making my own cables. Most of what I need is going to be very short run, semi-permenant XLR cables. I'll get Neutrik connectors, but would appreciate advice on what would be a good, reasonably priced cable. Also, could anyone suggest where I should make these purchases, as I am pretty in the dark when it comes to component retailers. Thanks a lot-

patchbay cable length?
Forums
I am gathering supplies for a new patchbay, and its unlike any that I have built before. It is the patchbay for a portable recording rig and it needs to be very flexible. It will have the usual 1/4" longframe jacks on the front panel, but there will also be a rear panel with XLR connectors to allow me to connect new gear into the system by simply plugging it into the XLR jacks.

pre-terminated cable recommendation for studio?
Forums
Hi, I'm ready to recable my studio now and have some money saved up for it. I'm looking to buy preterminated cable in standard (non-custom) lengths.
I'd like something good that I won't outgrow; cable that's top quality which won't be the weak point in the path.
Fancy cables
Forums
I have a Mackie 1604 VLZ Pro (8 direct outs) and I was thinking about in the future, using the inserts as inserts and direct outs on channels 9-16. I was thinking about how to build the cables for this but I'm not sure. Does someone knows how to do this?

Cable prefrences
Forums
I know this has probably been brought up before, but I would appreciate opinions on the best brand names of mic and line cable and the reasons why cable can make a difference in the sound. Oxygen free, gold ends, gauge, etc. all seems to come up from time to time. Your suggestions would be appreciated.
