I've only used homemade cables.But Im ready for an upgrade

Read the thread titled "Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit".

Cables made by someone else may not sound better than the ones you make yourself. Study the techncial issues further and dream up your own improvements. It can be much more rewarding in every way.

The only reason I would buy cables is if I did not have the time to mess around. In that case I would work with some of the used cable places to audition numerous brands before I purchased. There are many that would be willing to work with you on this.

All this said...your ears and the current level of WAF should be your primary guides.

Contact Bob Cohen at www.fatwyre.com for guidance regarding cable suggestions within the context of your equipment in use, as well as for demo cables available for rental/tryout at a very reasonable fee which is also applicable to any eventual purchase.

Other than consistency of construction, "mass produced" cables have NO inherent superiority over "homebrew" cables. With careful selection of parts, proper design and solid construction, it is VERY possible that your "backwoods" attempt at cable building may be much better than what you can buy for 10 times the price.

I would suggest looking at the grade of components ( wire, connectors, solder, etc... ) and the geometries that you're using and go from there. Since you've already got the skills to assemble cables and the tools to do it with, it would be foolish to pay someone else to build you a more expensive product that probably uses inferior parts.
