Just picked up some cables from Wacky (John) Kovacky and was 
impressed enough to toss out a shameless plug.  847-366-0292  The 
cables are very nicely done.  He uses Switchcraft connectors, 3M 
heatshrink, and good quality (durable) wire.  For the time being, he 
lives very close to my place so I got to see his operation last night 
when I picked up 60 cables.  He buys the wire on 2000' spools, 
connectors by the thousands, and 500' or 1000' reels of heatshrink.  
He tests each cable made and then heat-seals the bags with 5 cables 
per bag.  Very professional.

I measured the capacitance on a 10' cable and it would appear to be a 
hair under 39 picofarads per foot (388.1 pf on a 10' length) which 
seems fairly typical for pro, unbalanced lines.  He also has done 
snakes, XLR patch panels, and just about everything one would find in 
a studio or gigging setup.  I am very satisfied with the quality.  I 
chose combinations of cable and shrink colors to more easily identify 
the cables by length.  He can do almost any number of cables you'd 
want and deliver them a lot faster than you could probably do 
yourself.  Highly recommended.

Cheers!
