RE: [motm] Patch cord help

Many people on this list, myself included, have gotten excellent prices &
service from Wacky Kovacky. You might try there:

Mr. K will make cables to your specifications with color-coded heat-shrink
strain reliefs. Sometimes he even puts fun little items in the shipping
cartons.

I've made cables in the past and found it to be a whole lotta No Fun. So for
what he's asking, I buy from him. I love DIY, but I have to pick my battles
these days! ;)

Subject:	[motm] Patch cord help

Ok, well I have my soldering iron, my heat gun, and even my Panavise. 
 I have modules coming in and solder is flying.  What I do not have 
is patch cords.  I visited the local music store and they can get 
expensive.  

I would like to assemble my own patch cords and I want quality coax 
and plugs.  What brand of 1/4 inch plugs should I use and what brand 
and size of coax?   Should I even assemble my own?  I assume that it 
is cheaper to do so.

Are there manufactured patch cords that are high quality that are 
recommended?

Opinions please.

Thanks
Andy
