Re: Making your own cables...

indeed! georgel, also mogami (sp?) and canari (sp?) cables are sweet for
making your own. just add your favorite neutrix (sp?) or switchcraft ends
and there you go. cheaper this way also more dependable if you're a good
solderer. all 3 cables come in many sizes too. george l is solderless which
is nice too. i've had a george l in tact for sometime without having to
rethread the jack. very sweet. it will indeed make mucho difference in your
overall sound. folks hire me a few times a year to redo their entire racks
with the goods. they are always very pleased with their enhanced sonic
quality after we are done.

good job for once. Also, I have a number of specific items I need to create

making
cables seems like a good place to start.
