I installed a new Neve 8232 in my studio back in 87-88. Pre-wired the racks, Elco's & DB25's with about 5000 feet of West Penn 291. Fred Hill commissioned the console along with John Klett, neither had problems with the 291 and that console worked great from day one. I think I paid $55 per 1000 ft. roll for that wire and it came in different colors which made my life a lot easier. Most of this high-end cable is just hype, if it sounds good, why worry? I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I have to work for my money and I'll be damned if I'm gonna give it to somebody for the purpose of blowing smoke up my ass.
