Yeah, there is a 'skimming' effect that happens with good wire, bad wire resists the signal.

The best place that I've found for cables is Redco.com. They make custom cables for less than the retail packaged Mogami cables. |
+1 for Redco. My interfaces run through their cables to their DB-25 patchbay.
I have Canare running through the walls and I wish I had Mogami, but Canare is good.

I think the order of importance goes almost exactly in order of the recording chain. Something like this:
Performer + instrument -> Room -> Mic position -> Mic choice -> Preamp -> Converter -> Cable choice |
I agree.

I need to make some cables!
I am really lucky. I won an eBay auction of a lot of audio stuff. Included where 7 tt patchbays with Mogami snakes. I incorporated 4 of these into my new setup, 3 basically for the new console and 1 for all my pres and compressors.

Take a deep breath. Are you sitting down? Good. Cut the control room end. There, it's out there. Get yourself a patchbay and solder up. You'll be happy when it's done.
