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?

are you sure the "better premium" cables actually improve audio?

anyways, i just use monoprice.com or, try bluejeans cables

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

go with some cables from Bluejeanscable.com. They make an excellent product.

 

[carmatic]

do blue jeans actually make 3.5mm stuff?

 

[BIG POPPA]

Yup, the last cable I just picked up was a 4 ft mini to mini. it was under 30 bux if I remember right?

i cant find anything like that on their site, the closest i found are rca red-white stereo cables

anyone know where to get some of these blue jeans cabling shipped to the UK? i cant find any...

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

markertek has a $100 minimum order for international orders International Orders from Markertek

but i found this Canare Low-Profile Customizable 1/8" Headphone Extension Cable

 

[fatman711]

that isn't what he is looking for I don't think. That one is 1 a 1/4" to 1/8" cable.

 

[carmatic]

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

If you look at the Markertek offerings, be sure to verify the terminations (male mini stereo, female mini stereo) as Markertek makes these extender cables in mono and stereo with a variety of termination combinations.

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
