        I have a question on microphone cables I  would  like  to
have  answered  once and for all.  The question I have in mind is
the matter of the two popular types of plugs/jacks used  for  mi-
crophones.  I am refrerring to the basic 1/4" phone plug/jack and
the 3-prong plug/jack.  Are there any advantages or disadvantages
to  either  of them.  I have heard that one of them is better for
long cable runs but it may hinder audio quality.  I  have  gotten
several different responses from several different people.  Could
somebody that knows about these things please let  me  know  what
the differences in quality, length of cable run, etc. is????
