I use Hi Ho cables exclusively because:
1. Matt(aka thegreatgumbino) does EXTREMELY nice work and has made me custom pairs that I will NEVER ahve to buy again. He also did some ANAL things that I asked him to, like put heatshrink over each solder joint
2. He does or did custom jobs and uses the highest quality components
3. Was willing to techflex the cables together to make "one" cable, except about 1' from each end
They were kind of pricey, but I COULD NOT be any happier
And I wont need to buy acbles for MANY YEARS, so they were totally worth it for me
He made me a pair of 20' 'actives'(mini-xlr's) and a pair of 20' regular 3-pin XLR's w/ Neutrik Black/Silver connectors
