If you aren't buying in bulk at appropriate trade prices, then of course, you will suffer at the hands of the DIY option. You can't be serious, Shirley! As a DIYer - by definition, I am not a commercial manufacturer! So I can't buy in bulk. 32 minutes ago, aussievintage said: There are very decent cables available in the price ranges I mentioned - certainly under $100. I'm sure there are, av. But mine cost a little bit more. Andy 1

Firstly a foot ruler is only ever made to be 12". If they made it any longer it wouldn't be a foot ruler! Secondly, you need to take care to use the correct ruler. Imperial rulers are only useful to measure cable length in analogue systems. So of course you can't buy them any more, because analogue went out with the dinosaurs! Everyone knows that you need to use metric rulers if you have a digital hifi. 1
