i bought a ton of cheapo chinese import patch cables from ebay(germany). it was to be found among "foreign auctions" but it was free shipping.

they're quite as good as other firms, and i've had no issues so far. the main disadvantage was that they're all black, in all lengths.

which was easily solved with a hot air pistol and shrinkwrap tubes (help! what's english for schrumpfschlauch ).
