www.kindkables.com  Ed is more than fair for his prices and he has made all of my cables.

Nick
i went in for a look and for xlr's i have a question, is it 28 base price plus whatever depending on the length?

Yes, but give the phone number a call...tell him exactly what you are looking for and he will give you a quote.  I have gotten a fair amount of custom stuff done through him as well.

Don't buy them, just PAY someone to make you some, would be a lot less $$..... jon?

Just made some 15' last night.. I'm so technically uninclined that it's silly but after two hours (probably much longer then average) I have some kickass "$120" cables for less then $21 in materials!

A little recommendation, look *really hard* for small strands of the sheath/ground wrapping themselves around the blue or white wires.  Mine wouldn't past the "continuity test" and it turned out to be in both cases that one (yes one) strand of ground had touched the other wires!

Also curious, I couldn't find my 60/40 solder (electronic grade) so I used some other rosin core stuff.  Is this terribly bad?  The posts I've seen didn't mention electronic grade (just rosin core) and both cables passed signal just fine so I'm thinking I'm in the clear.

I noticed that Neutrik connectors don't work well with the Oktava's. They are too tight. Switchcraft connectors seem to work fine though.

Why?!?

Do you like 'em?

If yes, keep them.
If no, sell them and get/make cables that will make you happy.

I could get the same same sound quality(i imagine) from cables that cost half the price. I'm going to try and build me some.

But you know what I'm saying.....

they (neutrik) are pretty damn tight with my km100s, i gotta put some "umpff" into them to get them to click.
