Mogami cable and Neutrik ends. Buy bulkand make your own. Monster cables are garbage. Dont believe the hype about the oxygen free cable. What is exposed tooxygen when they solder it to the jack? That end of the cable is.still exposed. Never could get a Monster rep to answer that one. Monster also uses a proprietary jack. It is slightly oversized from a standard 1/4” jack. They did this so they would not have to pay Switchcraft royalties for using a true 1/4” jack. This doesnt make much of a difference short term, but over time it will widen the plugs of all your equipment, making loose connections if you dont have your Monster cable. The Neutrik NP2 and Mogami w2524 is what I suggest, been using this combination years with no problems.

Thanks Necrovore and cuban leaf.

I’m reading about Planet Waves. May check that out. Glanced at the Mogami. Interested in this as well.

I appreciate the great input (pun intended)

Now that is some interesting info— and explains my having to re-wire some 1/4 inch female jacks that kept going loose and dropping signal. Use ProCables for bulk sourcing and make own— what I do.
