Default need a cheap interconnect
seriously wish I didn't have to make this thread but I've been searching (even google.) Anyone know where I can get a 6" 3.5mm male interconnect elbowed at each end? I've seen people with ones made by Ultimate Ears but I didn't see any on their site. Thanks.

Oh btw cheap means I would rather not spend more than $15 on this :/

I spent about a week looking around and finally settled on the cardas 6".

It's the only thing I found with right angle plugs. $21 shipped from Cable Pro, slightly more from Headroom, but they've got a cheaper 4".

The cardas sounds nice and has a low profile. Doesn't look like a fancy cable.

Call Randy at BrainSalad Cables. He supports Head-Fi, donated a door prize at CanJam 08. I think Headroom will be selling his stuff soon. Phone number in Utah is 435-627-1114. (No web site yet - his email is brainsalad@brainsaladaudio.com).

He will make you mini2mini, right angle, any length you want. Amazing quality, flex, sound, looks. Maybe a tad more than $15, but worth it. Measure out exactly what you need. Consider right-angle at one end, straight on the other (depends on your amp). He'll do anything. Highly recommended.

Talk to Warrior05 from S2 Audio.
He does nice work, and maybe he can build you a budget cable .

Heres a Cardas for cheap with right angle plugs...

The Cardas HPI 6 mini to mini cable is inexpensive, flexible, and sounds good.
