This week I also recieved my Kurzweil micropiano, a near 20 year old gem. for classic house piano's and now we're done! |
I need a patch bay myself - did you go neutrik, Rean or Mosses and Mitchel? Did you go wired or flexipatch?
If I could give you some advice; don't go with mogami - they're really not that good. You're in Holland and should be able to find a Van Damme Cable supplier there, and if not, you can just buy direct from London. You'll find with patch bays (where things are plugged in and out a lot) they need to be pretty tough and well made and Mogami don't come close to VD cables (much better cable, hand made exactly to your spec and come in any colour which is useful for patch chords). IN fact you may to spec you're entire studio with Van Damme (there's a reason, Abbey Road, Air Studios, SARM etc etc only use Van Damme).

Damn straight I'm going there with the gold plating; it's not about signal transmission or gold as a conductor - it's about oxidation and durability. Plug something in and out a couple of thousand times over several years and you'll see what I mean. I've got both TRS and RCA cables from the early 2000's that I have no intention of replacing anytime soon yet I've had to replace or repair all the others that weren't high quality/didn't have gold plated connectors. I will add that because I live basically at sea level and less than 10 miles from the sea, I experience more oxidation/corrosion than probably most people, but still.
The cost difference between the Neutrik standard TRS and the Gold Plated one? $2.
And don't forget, when something starts to oxidise, the metal on the surface degrades and starts to break off. Now plug that in to your patch bay. Yep, how to fuck a patch bay in just a few short years, and there's nothing worse than a patchbay with dodgy connections.
Also, with a studio like his, he'd want the best cables possible and when Van Damme are the same price as Mogami it's a no brainer. I have a reel of mogami mic cable and it's actually pretty crap stuff. They're still using string (yes cotton) liners to give the cable flexibility, the conductors are tiny and both the shielding and insulators are really cheap.
And no, cable isn't just cable. If we were talking speaker cable you might have an argument, but line/instrument/mic cable? You know better
