I'm planning to make some mic cables for recording using a stereo mic (5 pi=
n xlr).  I'm considering cable listed below.
I'd like to keep size and weight down, which attracts me to the mr202, but =
the "quality" part of my brain says Star-Quad.
My longest run will probably be 50'.  Longest cable probably 30'.

So my two biggest concerns/questions would be:

Has anyone had noise/interference issues with the mr202 cable that might be=
 avoided using Star-Quad?
And, can you "cram" a cable larger than 8mm (like the Mogami siamese or the=
 Canare L-4E3-2P) into a Neutrik X?

Thanks
