Members vangkm Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 As the title states, anyone know of any more affordable options and where to purchase them? I'm looking for a thinner/smaller diameter cable with low capacitance. Tried a search but the only thing that came up was the high capacitance mogami w2319.

Members The Villano Dude Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 Would definitely like to know the answer to this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shaun126 Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 I recommend getting cables made by AaronSS here on the forum. Really high quality, resonable prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would but I'd like to try DIY first. It's something I've always wanted to do, that and build a few simple pedals myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 Coax cable is apparently extra low capacitance. (Planet Waves etc...) George Ls diameter coax is dirt cheap. Somebody please develop plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vangkm Posted February 21, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 http://www.redco.com/shopexd.asp?id=506 That's exactly the one I didn't want to use because of its high capacitance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cougar Hunter Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 I love high capacitance cable! Mogami 2319 and Canare GS-4 are great for my pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members christianatl Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 Don't know aout cheaper cable, but check out Orange County Speaker Repair for super cheap pancake plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Saturnine10 Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 I only use Mogami 2524 cable for everything, it's super easy to work with and sounds amazing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members r0bo01 Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 been using this stuff for years.... edit: cable is low capacitance, found i could roll off highs on eq (or get rid of eq altogether...).http://wildepickups.com/Cable_and_Plugs.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fission Hole Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 Wilde is about as fairly priced as most direct vendors go on by-the-foot cable. The solderless connectors are too much from anyone. The GLS pancake jacks from OCSR or straight Rean jacks are about the best quality you will find for almost as cheap as jacks come. Gepco X-Band for the win on good low-cap instrument cable that can be had cheap by-the-foot. I wouldn't use Mogami or Canare except after a very good buffer.

Members Player99 Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 I bought 40 pancakes at .39 cents each plus 4.85 shipping from these guys:http://www.taydaelectronics.com/hardware/6-35mm-1-4-plugs-jacks/6-35mm-1-4-mono-right-angle-metal-plug.html I have not received them yet but I buddy of mine has bought from them before. They have wire for .10-.15 cents per foot but I don't know if it is the right stuff.http://www.taydaelectronics.com/hardware/cable-wire.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JR13 Posted February 22, 2012 Members Share Posted February 22, 2012 That's exactly the one I didn't want to use because of its high capacitance. my mistake, didn't read all of the OP. I've never had any problems with it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all pancakes are of the same quality, but I'm hoping those are good ones. Please report back on them if you get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted February 22, 2012 Members Share Posted February 22, 2012 I don't have any huge lengths of it, but I use the 2319 for almost everything. I'm so ashamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hooya Posted February 22, 2012 Members Share Posted February 22, 2012 Mogami 2319 and Canare GS-4 are great for my pedals. I've used both. Seem fine by me! I use the Redco brand TGS-HD for my actual instrument cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Player99 Posted February 22, 2012 Members Share Posted February 22, 2012 Bill Lawrence I just checked and the minimum ship and handling fee to Canada starting at $18.50. That puts the price per foot up to George L's on an order of 20' or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all pancakes are of the same quality, but I'm hoping those are good ones. Please report back on them if you get a chance. Sure thing. I am looking for the thin pancakes. The GLS are .425" and George L's are .65 so the GLS are not actually a whole lot thinner when you double them up back to back. The ones I want are .26" thick. I wish I would have ordered some straight plugs as well... They have a bunch of stuff that is so much cheaper than here. It can take some time to get here though. 2-6 weeks.

Members vangkm Posted February 22, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 22, 2012 Bill Lawrence I didn't know Bill Lawrence made cables, where can I buy them? I checked his website but it's a pain to navigate and looks like it hasn't been updated since the early 2000's. *edit - I see some here for $0.76/ft, is that the best price I'll get? I'm going with the GLS pancake plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
