It may be worth $200 to you to have cables that survive abuse
when they're doing paying gigs daily, but at 15 feet you're not going
to hearany difference between them and ones that fall apart after a week.

gepco.com D61801EZGF, 250' =3D $62.50

This is zip-cord (like lamp cord) but it's shielded balanced audio
cable 22 guage.  Very handy for stereo pairs and long runs, and
handy for stereo pair short runs, like insert cabes.  Put some
shrink tube where you want the pairs not to separate any further.
