Are these cables any good?
« on: June 21, 2011, 03:37:43 PM »
http://www.cabletrain.com/xlr-female-to-xlr-male-microphone-cable-16awg-35-ft.html

I use almost exclusively homegrown stuff (Darktrain, Gakidis) as my main cable for normal taping, but occasionally I need some cables for longer runs that isn't techflexed together. 

I'm just trying to get something cheap that works, and found these.  I see they don't have Neutrik connectors but are gold-plated.  Any opinions?

I make my own but I recommend prefabbed Star Quad cables for about the same cost as the ones you found.  Markertek sells them and I'm sure you could find them elsewhere.  Markertek uses Neutrik gold connectors.
