hi guys, the audio setup in my home requires around 6 meters of 3.5mm male-female cable... i used to have a pretty high end cable running the length, but it got cut under a door... ive looked on the internet and all they seem to be selling are cheapo molded extension cables, but i would like something just a little bit better... anyone know where to buy something like that?

one thing im really looking forward to is having both channels equally loud when my headphones are plugged into the cable...something is just wrong with one of the cheap cables ive bought to replace my original one, the signal of the left channel gets reduced in the cable

Markertek offers custom service or stock cable, with Canare, Mogami, or Belden star quad cabling, and the 3.5 mm Canare/Calrad/Markertek connectors.

oh , dont worry... i am using a pair of akg k701's, and i am going to be hooking it up to my soundcard... i dont have any 1/4" equipment, yet the k701 is cabled with a 1/4" plug, so i need to use its 1/4" to 1/8" adaptor all the time
but now this canare cable will be like an adaptor, and an extension cable at the same time

::edit:: by the way, 'he' is me

the cable i've bought is a mini starquad , and having a 1/4" female end means its direcly compatible with my akg k701, i wouldnt have to use the 1/4" to 1/8" converter that came with the headphones anymore
