Get a roll of Beldon 1800f, a boat load of Neutrik XLR's and a soldering gun, can't miss.

1800f is 110ohm digital cable and I use all 110ohm stuff for my analog audio needs. I just finished wiring a whole 48 point patch bay and enough cables for a whole studio for around $800..... it is worth the investment in time.

I always prefered Belden to Beldon.

Canare is good too.

Mogami is reported to be good.

I usually get the Neutrik XLR connectors if I am building them. Use the Switchcraft if there is a possibility of getting run over by an amp rack or used to swing an SM57 like a bolo....

I always use Neutrik except for my pedal board because Switchcraft had better angled ends to save space.

I prefer Canare for single cables, and Mogami for snakes. I've always used those, so maybe I'm partial. Not to experienced with Belden, but I know it's good stuff.

I wouldnt use Monster cable if it was given to me. When I tried one I was very disapointed. Looks great but thats it. I like Belden,Planet Waves,Canare...

Yes, I get all my stuff from Chris at Redco. The price is pretty good and Chris is a GREAT guy. I can't say that enough. New site too, looks really good.

Canare is good stuff, I like 1800f because it is very easy to work with and the 110 ohm cable is very good.

To each his or her own just remember that friends don't let friends pass audio down Monster....
