Re: [motm] Re: 1/4" Patch Cables

2002-12-17 by Scott Evans, Gen Mgr

I have only two cables in my studio for 1/4". I either make them myself 
using switchcraft plugs, or I purchase high end PRO-Co cables. Don't 
make the mistake of getting cheap cables. It is so frustrating to spend 
the time to find an intermitant cable on a complex patch, it just isn't 
worth the money saved, to me, for the time spent. Just my opinion.

I haven't checked out the Peavey cables though. They may also be a good 
choice.
