can you even buy an oade active cable by itself anymore? i thought they only sold  them to you if you bought your dat from them.

Get canare star quad mic cables as they procide the best bang for buck.  I could make you a pair of straight angles if you would want them pretty cheap like!

a couple new Pro digital active cables on e-bay now. (Prodigital selling them)

I thought Oade will sell just the cable now.  But, I may be wrong?

i would definately recomend the JB3 (+ a toslink to mini optical from seller "accessoryking-com" on ebay [$6 shipped)

there is a TON of info on the jb3 floating around this board, so dont make any uninformed desisions.

i checked the website and they do sell them individually there are two types, ones active, 110 and 165 i think both are i/o's

steve

i don't know why, but this irks me.

"Wires" are more of an electrical thing.
"Cables" are for audio, and used to transmit sound frequencies...

Agreed.  15 feet is more than enough for me.  YMMV

yeah, i know what you mean.  i have a custom audio company and affectionately use the term "pulling wire", even though most of my wire carries voice/audio.

literally, cable has wires in it.
