Coloured Mic Cables

 Coloured mic cables make it easier to mix.  They are more expensive. The question is what makes a good mic cable.

I think (but don't know for sure) that one would want a braid shield and not a aluminium foil shield.  I would think that over time, foil shield would crack and result in less shield and more intermittent contact. 

NAME BRAND
I think "Canare" is seen as one of the best brands so lets see how they do it.
