I'm a little embarassed to ask such a basic question, but I searched "cable ties" and didn't see a good answer. What do people use to secure cables to their stand? I've got some of those velcro cable ties where you have to thread it together, and don't really like that - it never gets tight enough and is a bitch to use in the dark. I've seen some big Shure ones on stands, but googling "Shure cable ties" doesn't seem to get it. I've just been using small bits of tape, but that is a pain for a variety of reasons, and it looks crappy.
What do people like?
LOL. Who does it look crappy to? Stevie Wonder perhaps?
j/k
It's dark so I don't worry about looks anymore...but then I never worried too much about that.
I personally like tape best...easy on, easy off, don't have to worry about losing anything.
Second favorite is the same stuff you use, only I don't use the hole in the end. I just wrap the velcro around in a sorta modified 'candy cane' manner. This way I can keep hold of the one end as I tighten the velcro around the stand with the other, overlapping the velcro so it all holds tight. I don't have any problems getting it nice and tight, but frankly tight is only important to me when it comes to ... well I'll keep sexual references out of one of my posts for a change.
