Topic: Mic Cable retailers

[super-phat-al]

Im looking to make some cables.  Ive been to some of the sites in the archive section and i get really lost once i started browsing through there.  Can someone help me out by giving me links and recommending what to get?  Oh yeah im looking to make some 15' right angle XLRs.  Thanks

get the part numbers from the archive section, then search for that on the markertek site. thier site is terrible! but having the product #'s makes it so much better

[super-phat-al]

ahh very cool,  yeah there site is horrible.  Thats where i was having trouble

[caymanreview]

i never could find anything on thier site w/out part #'s

with th numbers life is so much easier. have fun with those right angles! they are lots of fun!

if you're going to use markertek i'd definately make a phone call rather than ordering over the internet.  i've ordered from them quite a few times and in my experience you get much quicker turn around if you call rather than going the internet route.

agreed, and make sure you triple check w/ them..those fuckin idiots sentme rt angle 4-pins instead of 3-pins..i only told them 5 damn times

personally, id avoid them, but thats IMO

I've ordered off the website from markertek a couple of times with no problems at all.  Yeah, it's not the fastest in the world, but the prices are reasonable, they carry everything, and I love the way they ship your stuff all organized.  I placed an order for a bunch of stuff (six mic cables, some rt angle, some not, three guitar cables, some other stuff) and it came all labeled and sealed into separate little plastic bags.  Pretty cool.

The site's not that bad when you get used to it.  (This from a developer who's been forced to see/use/fix many abysmally bad sites, so take it with a grain of salt.)  The trick is to not try to use the search to get one or two products like you normally would.  Just get in the general ballpark, then look at the list on the right on your own.

I have had several great experiences w/ Markertek.

FWIW, me, too.

I had a delivery  that was actually at my door the day after I ordered it.
origin : Las Vegas > Me in Orange Co. Ca in under 24 hours, normal ground delivery/ups.
And as stated before.....neatly packaged and organized.

I have had several great experiences w/ Markertek.

ups ground delivered that fast?

when i get a ups ground package shipped, they estimate the delivery date to be delivered on, assume 7-10 days usually for me. then the package will arrive at thier main shipping place here locally and sit at thier warehouse for say 3-5 days and be delivered on the day it was originally supposed to be. they make no effort to deliver it when they can, they put more effort into not delivering it i think
