Right, a lesson I don't need to learn, and the reason I'm trying to
avoid it. I *know* I make better stuff than they, "they" being anyone
else, but the barrier to entry (1000' of mic cable, a bin of connectors)
has me sticker shocked. For the cost of cabling, I could buy another
instrument, or an effects box or a mic or something :-)

Right. Mike cables aren't exciting. But they are things that you need
to have and there's really no way around that. Sadly, most of the really
important things in the studio (like room acoustics) wind up in that category.
