Amen Warrior Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I've always just schlepped to dolphinmusic, i've never explored any other alternative, wheres the cheapest place to pick up standard 1/4" jack to jack trs and midi cables? I always forget to factor in the price of cables before i buy stuff, the amount of cables i need as of NOW will set me back like £50. Boo-urns.

mcbpete Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Maplin probably. I've got a drawer full of wires looking like the guy at the end of tetsuo the iron man, and they probably cost me like £30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iep Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 i bought a few hundered meters of cable at Thomann a while back. also got a bunch of plugs, xlr, jack, phono, the works. cheap, and easy cos i'll whip up any kind of lead in a few minutes. ten meters of jack cable is about 3$ or so?

This is a good idea - however i've never had any experience doing this at all, could an idiot child do it or is it something that i'll have to learn to do properly? Or - what i really want to know is if theres anywhere that sells 4-6m audio cables in bulk or packs instead of just pairs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good idea - however i've never had any experience doing this at all, could an idiot child do it i mean what kind of idiot child are we talking about here anyway. bnc and xlr plugs can be tricky (bnc cause it can be finnicky and xlr because you'll have to pay good attention to the pin configuration depending on the application), but bnc isn't that common for music and xlr is expensive and heavy-duty so it's worth spending tricky time on. one way and the other you'll just have to connect the cable to the plug and that's that!!
