AP Audio TRS 8-Pack, 2ft. Customer Review

Feature:
The color code rings are a nice idea, but I'd rather have a white area that I could write on with a sharpie. There aren't really enough colors to make a useful distinction between the cables. It's nice that these are TRS. Since they are patchbay cables inside my rack, I don't expect them to break, but I wouldn't want to use these for frequent, repeated changes. I'm sure they will break around the strain relief.

Quality:
Pretty good, for consumer stuff.

Sound:
When setting up a home studio, nobody budgets for patch cables. Just moving 8 channels around can easily lead to half a mile of cable, hundreds of patchbay points, a real mess if you don't plan it, and a significant part of the budget. If you use Mogami cables or something, it might be the *most* significant part of the budget. And cables aren't exciting, like a vintage mic or a good preamp or a synth would be. You either spend the money and/or make your cables, or else you buy pre-fab cables. If you're buying pre-fab cables, these will be fine. I *wish* I had another $1500 in my budget for patch cords and snakes (I would buy mic wire in bulk, and Neutriks by the bin, and make them!), but I don't. So I use these AP's, and some Hosas.

Overall:
I'm using these because what I really want would increase my budget astronomically. They get the job done.
