An minimum expected order count would be good information to have at my end.

intended synthesis purpose...audio, CV, modulation, etc...?!?!  - at least
that how I would go about it.

HA.  Let me say that as many different buyers as I have, I have that same
number of different opinions about how things should be colored.  I'm not
even going there at all.  Everyone will use a form to specify their own
choice of colors and heat shrink on their cables.  A concensus on the
subject would be impossible. :)

> But more importantly on the heatshrink: it should go on the inside of the
jack

It seems that most everyone who has expressed an opinion has expressed that
same thought.  I have checked and we can have them either way.  But, thse
cables will never require repair <snicker>

> I'm definitely glad to hear this whole thing's happening with Neutrik

The Neutrik choice over Switchcraft was simple.  You must add $2 per cable
to jump up to Switchcraft.  Now, that has left me wondering about the
Neutrik connector.  It is supposed to be identical to the Switchcraft
(according to Neutrik).  I have sample cables coming.  I plan to cut them
open and check the quality.  I will have photos on line so everyone can see.
I'll do some side by side comparison with the Switchcraft 280.
