MOTM

i use Neutrik connectors & Canare cable. but 
Mogami & Gotham is good cable also. and there's
nothing wrong with Belden. i just happen to really like
Canare stuff for a lot of reasons.. also Canare connectors
are great, great stuff but i still prefer Neutrik because of
the large size & all. substantial feel is good. one nice thing 
is when you make your own you can have every concievable
length. sometimes getting a 4 foot cable can be expensive.
well, you know that i reckon. anyway...............
i get my supplies from Markertek (800-522-2025)
who also does online ordering, but i prefer voice transactions.
good prices (maybe great??) and fast, fast service. orders
seem to get here (CT) in one day from them (upstate NY) and
they have a TON of cable & connector stock. free catalog too.

hope this helps some
