Okay, I found cheap cable parts:
http://www.gatewayelex.com/Anywhere else I should look?
It looks like its 80% cheaper there than micsupply.com, and I can get gold connectors for only 2 bucks more.
This stuff is easy to put together right?

Canare Starquad cable
So, I'm figuring two 20' Female-Male XLR's with gold connectors for my mics.
... and two 30' cables with 1/4 inch mono plugs for board patching.
What is the most common connector I'll want on the board end? My FA-101 takes 1/4in mono plugs.
Am I making these too long? I dont want to be short, but I dont want signal loss / interference either. Will looping these up when I have slack cause issues?
