One time when I went to Japan with my family, I was able to score a pair of Amphenol connectors, a pair of Neutriks - one straight and one angled, and 5 meters of Mogami cable (in hindsight, I should've gotten more). I built a cable using the Neutriks and the Mogami, and am now using it as my main instrument cable. It rocks
I plan to get myself a Klotz cable for the pliability of the insulation (I hate having tangles on my wires) and, if ever the connectors fail, I'll finally have the chance to use the Amphenols I have been saving
