Couple of cable questions
« on: July 13, 2005, 08:35:31 PM »
Does anyone know if a short run (6-12")  of Canare star quad would work for an AES cable? I need something short and flexible out of the MiniMe. The cable I have now is too stiff.

What makes star quad (4 braids) so popular? I've seen a few two braid cables that are advertised as microphone cable. How many braids is that bumblebee stuff Marc uses? I tried a serach for miagi cable and nothing came up.

the speaker cables I have from Marc are 4 braids, I believe that the mic cable is from the same stock
I’ve had a few weird experiences and a few close brushes with total weirdness of one sort or another, but nothing that’s really freaked me out or made me feel too awful about it. - Jerry Garcia

Thanks. Any idea who actually makes the stuff?

it might work in a pinch, but you really want a 110Ω rated cable.  yes, it's a short run, but why potentially compromise the signal your sending to the capture device.   i use the canare and it's really thick and stiff, i think marc said he uses the belden cable.
we all live downstream.
