In most cases I like the pre-made cables better. For instance
http://www.voti.nl/shop/p/CABLE-J35-MM.html , an audio jack cable.
Reasonable quality, the connectors are fused with the cable. Compare
with http://www.voti.nl/shop/p/CON-JACK-3M5.html : a single connector,
not easy to solder, and lousy cable connection. But it is the commonly
available connector. No way you are gona make a cable with that which is
as reliably as the pre-made cable. (Note: in this case two connectors
are way cheaper than the cable).
