Thoughts on Mogami cables?

I bought a couple of cables from a guy on an G&L forum ages back (maybe 15+ years or so?) who made them and he used Canare GS-6 cable and Neutrik connectors and they have been bulletproof. I have used them almost exclusively in that time for practice and live shows.
I have been wanting to make my own but I don't really have the need right now. I found this site a while back and saved it if you're looking for individual parts to make your own: https://www.redco.com/home.php

I use Redco for everything cable and connector related, Chris is great. Mogami cable is very good as well.

Thanks everyone!
I was pretty bummed yesterday....when I was unaware one of my bargain patch cables came apart in the connector and I was troubleshooting a board. I want to replace all of those and pick up a good 3-5 meter guitar cable. I have a new amp head coming and also want a speaker cable for it. All of this leads to my query.

I source from redco. I've used mogami with amphenol jacks and they've been great. I wouldn't buy their retail cables though (I just looked at prices!).

I got some patch cables from btpa.com as well and they were great.

What's the Redco/BTPA equivalent for Canadians? Is there one?

Redco order arrived. I made a couple cables and they are VERY quiet.
This Mogami coax is pretty good stuff. Here's some shots of me destroying a piece.
You can see the cross-section
Then the outer insulator removed
Next a shot of the inner inner insulator jacket still on
Then the jacket removed.
Then the inner insulator removed.
Finally a nice thick core for soldering.
The Neutrik NP2s are great as well!

Was mostly guitar/amp parts, but they I found they have been adding pedal-related stuff in the last 1 1/2 year. Saved me more than once when I had forgotten a couple of parts in my Tayda order. I could drive to their warehouse (pre-pandemic) but I'd rather pay the flat 10$ CAD shipping for most of the order I did than loosing an hour. I always file that as a fee for my forgetfulness...
And as a bonus, as I did small orders, the box they came in were perfect for shipping pedals afterwards!

Most of my patch cables are DIY cables with the smaller diameter mogami stuff. I'll be honest it feels overpriced for what it is, but I haven't seen anything that looks comparable (nor have I really looked for it).
