Yes, I've decided to avoid the splicing. I have an AT BP4025 that came wit=
h a breakout cable (Siamese cable). It's 16' long though, so part of my pl=
ans are a shorter one for handheld use.
My soldering skills are very good so I prefer to make my own (prepared ones=
seem a little to expensive since my time is $0)
So now I'm planning on breakouts similar to the one in you link with longer=
runs of Star-Quad wired stereo to 5-pins.
Thanks
