RE: Cables - Monster or otherwise

RE: Cables - Monster or otherwise

I know I'm stating the obvious, but it's substantially cheaper to DIY cables
than to buy them pre-made. Certainly, if you only need a few cables in a
small rig then it's not worth the effort but you'll pay full retail for a
pre-made cable at a music shop versus wholesale pricing for the parts at an
electronic supply store. I'll still buy pre-made cables for applications
like microphone and guitar leads but all my interconnects are lovingly
hand-assembled.

The other thing about being able to roll your own is that you'll never be
stuck without the right cable thirty minutes after the shops have closed
during an important session.

Sheesh, pre-made cables! What are youse guys? A bunch of musicians or
sumting? :)
