Title: 1/8" stereo patch cables
Post by: tapeheadtoo on August 13, 2017, 11:38:16 AM

For the last 25 years I've been using patch cables custom made by Leonard Lombardo at Sonic Studios.  I know he's not the most popular guy around but he sure makes good cables.  He hasn't been reachable the last few months; anyone know what's up with him?  In the meantime I'm looking for recommendations for a source of high quality cables (reinforced right angle connectors, adequate shielding, etc.).

TIA.

Darktrain makes nice cables.

And I also have unanswered emails into sonic studios as well which is out of character from past experiences.

Thanks, I'll contact him.

They're not answering their phone either.  I hope they're okay.

I haven't been able to reach Leonard either.
I really hope he's ok!
When I started taping his stuff was the holy grail and his website a fountain of confusing information that I couldn't stop ingesting!
