MOTM

i'm used the neutrik connectors myself and might be interested in part of a 
bulk purchase.  i also usually use L-2T2S and am in need of some more at 
the moment so count me in for some of that. i usually buy through 
markertek.com, pretty good prices but LMK what you guys come up with.

thanks
mark
