Is there any online shop or any kind of retailer that sells any quality cables (mogami, canare e.t.c.) in UK? Just so i don't have to ship from America.

Canford (Professional Audio and Video Equipment - Canford Online) do canare, have used them before for odds and sods. Also do most of the range of Neutrik stuff too.

Have fun..

Yeah mate, i feel your pain. No Mogami anywhere in the UK!

Tut tut. Want to set up a shop?

[quane]

Hmm, I found mogami

Canford Online - Products

Thanks for the link

What other good/cheap cables are there?

+ Looks like this shop don't sell Tech Flex, where can you get it in UK? Much, much prefered local shops (e.g. Homebase, Maplin) or something of that sort. Shops that are everywhere

 

[matthewcarlrose]

I honestly didnt know they did mogami - But then again i never really looked!

 

[quane]

Added the proper link. I can't decide between which plug to take although I still got lots of time and there's really no difference between them except for size, material used and looks. Might as well take couple F-12's and 1 NP3X-B for later, haven't decided what cable to get just yet.

 

[Mayzei]

They don't do TechFlex but they do do "Expandable Sleeving", type it in.

Thanks Mayzei, That's good.
Tech Flex is basically cable sleeving with fancy name.

What size Tech Flex or Cable Sleeving should I get for this cable? 30-610 CANARE L-4E5C CABLE Black

Look for Van Den Hul, if you're in the UK. You can buy some of their cables off the roll to make your own, far cheaper than buying a assembled pair, if that suits you.

From their website

Quote:

Microphone cables The FLEXIMIC, per meter without connectors € 16.50 The MIC HYBRID, per meter without connectors € 17.00 The MIC Highflex HYBRID, per meter without connectors € 17.00 D - 403, per meter without connectors € 20.50 The BIG MIC, per meter without connectors € 165.00

That's not cheaper, at all, not paying nearly £10 for a meter

I would recommend AGAINST using the canare F12; its the most PITA connector available IMO small solder tabs, way too big for many setups, useless strain relief. get switchcraft or neutrik for mini IMO. the neutrik you mention for the other end is fine though.

 

[quane]

Ok, won't get F12's then

Switchraft or Neutrik? Hmmmm... Hard decision

If you can, give me best models for minis from either Neutrik or Switchcraft as they don't sell Furutech.

the switchcraft is the one I would go for. its 35HDBAU furutech dont make a mini unfortunately only 1/4" IMO the XLO mini is the best, but hard to come by and not nessecarily for someione new to the cable game. go switchcraft. sorry but I cant remember the neutrik model number at the moment, but a google on neutrik + 3.5mm + stereo + gold tip shopuld net you the right one. they only have one AFAIK that is with those specs

also the neutrik wont fit te canare or mogami (IMO go mogami) without drilling out the barrel opening. the switchcraft will though

 

[quane]

I don't actually really care about sound quality, I'm only recabling so it looks nice and I want to make a quality cable so it doesn't rip apart after 2 weeks. Quite stupid, I know

I'll check for Switchcraft, if they're aren't 2x dearer, I'll get some.


Edit: 4.64 for one? :O LOL That's 2x as expensive as Canare, I'll check Neutriks.
Edit 2: Won't be getting Mogami, 2x as expensive and I belive it isn't worth it, not atleast for such cheap phones and actual setup.

Even if they're 4 times more expensive, I'd recommend them; they're just the best 3,5mm plugs EVAR.
They can destroy a tank with their sheer force, even Chuck Norris isn't strong enough to break one and they're sexier than Scarlett Johansson in a bikini.

Edit: The last part is perhaps a little over the top, but you get the idea... I hope.
