Topic: what problems with cheap mini jack cable on a recording?

[Church-Audio]

Googone eats at the cable not a good idea. It actually dries them out. But again I dont have any experience with taping only with audio engineering

Seriously though Chris, someone must have pissed in your cheerios today because you are fired up.  I for one appreciate your years of experience and knowledge, carry on....

I appreciate it as well, but the sarcastic attitude is hardly necessary. What applies in the professional world does not always apply to our hobbiest/amateur efforts, yet the tone of conversation is that there is only one truth.

Truth "cheap gaff tape fucks up cables"
Truth "epoxy fumes makes me irritable"
Truth "  I AM ALWAYS RIGHT "
Truth " I am always right except for when I am wrong"|
Carry on.

I've been told the money I spent for mini-XLR's on my Church Preamp was money wasted...


I'll think back to this thread and laugh if I ever hear that again...

I dont get it? I never said buying mini xlr connectors was a waste of money. I just said for most people 3.5 mm connectors used on my preamps and lots of other consumer products also work just fine as long as you take care not to unplug them.... I have two options for locking connectors now on all of my preamps. I dont consider them a waste of money. But for most people they get along just fine with 3.5 mm connectors.

I appreciate that you give your customer the choice to configure the unit as the customer wants...some folks say things that are strange to me and that is why I'll laugh if they think it was money wasted

Didn't want you to think otherwise

[hi and lo]

No need to explain, Chris. I get it. In your narcissistic world, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a 3.5mm connector, but god forbid someone use gaff tape on a cable.

Carry on.

I dont think I am the one with the "self importance issue" Since your still arguing lol. I dont give a shit what you do. I just dont want my customers putting gaff tape on the cable I use. My point all along is to warn my customers against using Gaff tape something I feel I am more than qualified to do since I am the one that makes the products they may or may not gaff tape.

Chris,

Your time would probably be better spent responding to your customers' inquires and delivering their products in a timely manner (rather than many, many weeks after a promised delivery date) instead of arguing with me here. Professionalism takes a bit of time and effort.

Dam sounds like someone needs to get out more. Anyway I think I take care of my business just fine thank you for your concern! Its so nice to see someone care about my business! Maybe you should start up your own business and you can call it "GAFFTAPE AUDIO" That is so cool! you can sell mics with sticky cables! lol you just have to take things personal just because you dont like what I said funny shit. I stand by my words.

Not to keep the horse flogging going, I think many people have no idea what is the difference between gaffers and duct (Duck) tape. That is just a general comment and not aimed at anyone. I've had a roll of gaffers tape in my car and haven't used more than a yard of the stuff in two years and that was mainly to try and tape the legs of a stand in place at one venue. I use velcro as much as I can in other places.

A surprising number of your customers would disagree.

Sounds like someone should start there own business making gear! Say what ever you want you are the one that looks like an asshole here not me.
Personal attacks over gaff tape wow....

[acidjack]

 

actually wasn't this conversation about minijacks?

- locking connectors good. Locking connector locks.
- miniplug less good than locking connector, but still fine in most cases as long as one is careful

[according to Chris] gaff tape bad.  I have no idea why that makes sense, but I'm not claiming expertise in it.

What is here to "debate" exactly?
