Hello all,
I'm currently about to tackle wiring my home-studio. I have a fair bit of experience soldering guitar cables but this time I'll be dealing with mixer in/out, synths and rack gear and I'm a bit puzzled as to what kind of cable I should be using.
Most of my gear is unbalanced (I presume that's a fairly common scenario for those dealing with vintage equipment) but everyone seems to recommend "dual" or "quad" cable. Would that offer any advantage for "unbalanced" equipment? (For example, are there any advantages in wiring the ground on the second internal lead rather than the "sleeve" of a conventional guitar cable?)
Any suggestions appreciated
Thanks!
