Best place to buy cables/connectors?
Looking to redo my whole board in diy soldered cables, any thoughts on the best place to buy connectors and cable and stuff?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I bought my mogami cable from rubber monkey, and jacks from Amazon.

+1 for BTPA.
They do the small square pancake jacks, extra short inline jacks, and have super low capacitance cable that’s cheap, and sounds killer.

Re: Best place to buy cables/connectors?
Nice thanks! Second question, any right angle jacks that work with dense switchers? Specifically the g2?
I know straight jacks would be better but if I ditch the switcher I would def want right angle jacks after that so if there is one that can do both then that’s awesome

Re: Best place to buy cables/connectors?
I've got these too. They can be a tiny bit wide to fit side-by-side with some pedals if the outputs are too close together, e.g. Volante. Otherwise feel very solid and have been perfectly reliable.NippleWrestler wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 1:11 pm These are the ones I use

Re: Best place to buy cables/connectors?
At the moment I've narrowed it down to just ordering some new Lava Tightrope, prob about $250nz all up, and ordering a mix of SPS and SP400 with their low cap cable for about $550nz. Shipping from btpa is $75us! Kitting out in Evidence SIS would be around $1000....
I'm leaning towards the tightrope, I've only had one or two go dodgy on me in about 7 years, they seem pretty good. It annoys me that I would have to order half straight plugs (for the back of the G2) and half square plugs (for the pedals).

Re: Best place to buy cables/connectors?
I ordered from bestronics (bpta) and used straight plugs into my G3 and angles into most of the pedals I used Evidence Mono Rail I got free with the G3 but BPTA also have great pedalboard cable that is very reasonable on price so I would get that if I had to pay again. There is another company in the states that do small pancake stuff but the straight plugs are longer than Square Plugs.

I have Emerson solderless. Can do you a deal on 2 or 3 packs of dozen plugs + cable.

I'm not to keen to have different types on the board, just complicates things a little bit. I do like the look of those Emerson/Disaster/G&H ones (all the same), but I would irrationally want to replace the lot...

Not sure if it's of any interest, but I just got an email from GoodWood Audio, they are now selling parts for DIY cables:

Nothing to see here.
