Need advise to help make quality bal cables

Thanks Eric! I will look into the Canare.

I recently made balanced cables using Canare "star-quad" cable with Neutrik connectors. This is inexpensive cable (about $.15/foot) with a good reputation.

I ordered from Markertek (cables and connectors both). I have ordered several times from them, very fast, good prices.

Search the forums here for details on how to make the cables, it's been described before.

for vendors look at Homegrown Audio, Chris VH, and maybe the Vampire cable websites. I believe these all sell wire you could use to DIY XLR IC's. There are also a number of vendors who sell DIY type cables already pre made. In particular the Element Cable has good designs using Belden wire, and was recently favorably reviewed. A list of vendors can be found within the following links.
