[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 51415, member: 211"] Re: What is the best Mic Cable package for the money? In my systems, I make all of my own cables using Belden 8412 wire and switchcraft connectors. I also have each cable labeled at each end with my company name, cable number, and manufacture date. The label is color coded so I can tell the length quickly by color. The label is then covered with a clear piece of shrink tube for a very long lasting finish. I make cables a few times a year. Great way to spend some time while watching TV. The nice thing about making my own cables is that they all look the same, and I can easily tell which are mine. If I'm ever selling cables, I'd go with pre-made, for sure. Cost is less than if I make my own, and none of my labor is needed. But definitely watch out for the 'cheap' cables. I bought some Audio Technica cables ones. Total crap. They started falling apart after 6 months. If you looked at the jacket wrong, it would split open on you. I've since standardized on Whirlwind cables for sale. They have a few different grades to choose from, but even their cheap end is a decent quality cable. [/QUOTE]
