Are there any cheap mini-mini interconnects out there that I can pick up at a physical store? I've already been waiting a while for my ES7s to ship and I'd prefer not to wait another whole shipping cycle to get the interconnect if I can avoid it.

I'm looking for something that's 2ft or longer, and $15 or under, unless absolutely everything at that price-point is crap, in which case maybe I'll suck it up, move my source closer, and wait for something to ship from amazon again. I'd really prefer not to, though, if I can avoid it.

Well, yeah, but will it ruin my sound quality?

I was curious if there's something that will be relatively unnoticeable for a newbie with a pair of ES7s connecting to his desktop computer (i.e., it's not like I'm listening on HD650s with an expensive DAC and amp).

Is there anything I should look for, if not a brand name? Certain types of connectors, certain materials, whatever?

If you have a Fry's nearby, they have a 3 foot mini to mini for $1.99... decent quality for the money. Just hanging on a hook in very plain package.

Yeah, I think there is one nearby, and I need to pick up a new internal HDD anyway, so I could pick that up while I'm there.

Fry's keeps their audio cables in two different locations in the store (Palo Alto)... These are in the section where they sell all the audio/video cables, speaker wire, etc.
