I believe I got them from Westlake Electronics.

rean (neutrik i think) 1/4" mono gold plated


silver plated stranded copper w/teflon from ebay
neutrik RA minis (CRAP!)

i got all my stuff from www.redco.com . not a huge selection, but i like everything they have, the prices are reasonable, and they have been excellent for customer service.

What don't you like about the Neutriks? I like Neutrik minis better than Switchcrafts. What else would you have used?

Well, to be more specific, I like this Neutrik mini quite a bit. I don't have any experience with the ones you used.

neutriks arent as good as switchcraft and canare with mini connectors, they are however half the size and the smallest diameter connectors largely available. Neutriks are delicate connectors but its barrel diameter size makes them far more convenient for portable amps and traveling, soldering shouldnt take more then a second of two per terminal or you can melt the dielectric.

thanks for the redco link. I like their prices.

22gauge silver plated copper wire covered in teflon then shielded. The wires soldered directly to the headphone connector pins.

I've ordered from Redco in the past too, it would be nice if they had a few more parts but they have nice prices and good service.
