I'm just about finished building my rig, but a question I have is what I should use to go between the sound devices MP-2 and the Edirol R-09?
I will have the line in jack modded to make it sturdier, and it's obvious that I need a 1/8 male to 1/8 inch male cable, but I guess what I want to know is if a $3 cable from Rat Shack will be good enough or should I have a better quality cable with better wire and better connectors made up? (Kevin Lowe has offered.)
Here is what I have so far...
MBHO 603a > 20' Canare cables (for when I don't separate the caps from the bodies) > SD MP-2 > ? > R-09
I don't want the ? in the above chain to be a weak link in my setup so if I need to upgrade this cable, I will do so.
Any suggestions would be appreciated...
Thanks for reading

I don't know about the output from the MP-2, but I use a home-made right angle plug to go into mic or line in on the R09. Actually I have a 12" cable with a right-angle mini male connector on one end and a female miniXLR on the other. I plug the miniXLR into any battery boxes or other contraptions I use for mics. Oh yeah, I put a dab of hot melt glue to hold the right-angle miniplug in place. Couldn't resist this, especially for a brand new piece of gear
