Good source online source of cables?

I know there are good priced sources for computer component cables out there on the internets ( i just snagged a usb extension for $4, from a reputable company )

...but is there an equivalent clearinghouse of audio cables online that you would recommend? I just cringe when I go into GC and have to be assaulted by their $45 Hosa instrument cables.

I was going to say redco.com also. What about Lavacable.com, check those out also. He's got lots to choose from.

I'd go with Redco or George L

http://www.redco.com/
http://www.georgelsstore.com/home.html

Just received two new custom made cables from Redco.

Very happy with my purchase and far better than most anything you can pick up at
your local shop at twice the price.

George L offers very cool solderless connectors that not only give you excellent signal, but also make for quick repairs if one end of the cable does eventually go bad.

My best friend has a George L cable that has lasted him more than 15 years.

Yup,

I wanted a heavy duty 8' amp to speaker cable.

Ended up going for their Redco 12AWG cable with their oversized barrel jacks.

Also had them make me up a 12' guitar cable with Silver Canare, spring supported
jacks with their Redco house cable.

Both were $43.00 shipped.

I've been very happy with nyproaudiocables.com . You can also find them on evil bay. Quality Mogami & Canare cables with Neutrik connectors & very good prices. All the cables I bought before finding them I had to replace with these. Mogami 2524 with Neutrik golds is my go to cable for guitars.

Glad you like it. I have tried hard to scour the world's cable companies through the web and have a good selection...

I've purchased from the Lava Man multiple times, even had him do some custom stuff and not only does he do orders fast, but the products are top quality. Lava Cable is my go to place for all my guitar cable needs - the customer service really is that good and the products speak for themselves.
