Would a cable like this be any better against noise, than eight seperate cables?
I am only getting -80db on all analog inputs (white noise when gain is set high), is this bad?

Cable question..
Yeah.. looks like cheap quality.. but I'd like a cable like that, with no compromise on quality... preferrably.. any suggestions?
my noise level is -80db when gain is set to 0, but I had the impression from the Alesis Ai3 ADAT interface manual, that I was supposed to get -100db.. I might be mistaken though..

This will probably make your noise level worse. These cables are all unbalanced, thus sensible to EM interference pickup and, since they're all parallel and as close together as can be, if one picks up that kind of noise, all the others will too.
If you can't use good balanced cables in your setup, you might want to take the time to do a search in the articles on the <a href=”http://www.sospubs.co.uk”>Sound On Sound</a> website. They have some good ones on wiring and grounding schemes.
BTW, these are Hosa cables, right?

hmm.. Why didn't I think of Monster?? hehe
This one looks like a winner..
The thing with collecting all the cables in a snake, is that if you twist them correctly, they will not have any effect on each other, this is why most cables have the positive and negative cable twisted around each other..
I only need one, so I can probably justify getting a Monster in a snake (haha I made a funny)..
