      Hi all,



I've been recording bird sounds for a few years but I am no expert on the t=
echnical side of this hobby. I use an Edirol and a Sennheiser ME66.



I have just a quick equipment question:



Is there a major difference in quality in mic cables? For instance, if I bu=
y a cheap cable for <$10 on ebay, is it likely to produce inferior recordin=
gs compared to a $30 cable from a reputable specialty retailer.



Links to a couple examples are below. Thanks for any advice!
