are there any 1/8" to 1/8" cables out there similar to that of the quality of blue jeans cable MSA-1 but cheaper? i just cant justify paying ~$35 shipped for a 3 foot cable.

I think that's pretty much the cheapest you can get.

I made my own from Canare cable and Neutrik/Rean plugs. Durable, flexible and looks ok. That's all I need.

Edit: actually no. here's the cheapest one and it's also well regarded here

thanks, i bought the cardas 6" mini to mini cable from e-bay for $20 shipped. not a bad deal and it was just around my price range. cant wait til it arrives. maybe i'll hear a difference between these and stock?

Interesting to hear less-expensive alternatives to BJC. I always regarded them as the least expensive quality cable source. Maybe there are others?

I doubt it. But you'll feel like a pro that's for sure

If he can't justify paying $35 for a cable, I am going to go out on a limb here and say that he really can't justify paying $50 + shipping for a cable

Yes but if he were to change his mind or if others were to come here looking for information, then the Milian site is "Out There" for the info.

The Cardas mini to mini is nice sounding cable and very flexible. You should enjoy it.

Excelent choice ! I bought the Cardas from Headroom. It my first interconnect that didn't come as an accessory to something else.
I recently bought a Little Dot Micro from a chinese site and it came with a beautiful OFC interconnect, but the packaging was all in chinese so I don't know where to look for it seperately.

DIY your own. Get some Canare, or some kind of good mic cable and get some connectors and make some. That would be cheapest of that quality, i guess.

 

[Peyotero]

Yep. A mini to mini of that size (cardas/mogami/canare) would roughly cost 5$ to build.
Unless you wanna use Switchcraft plugs instead of the usual Neutrik and throw some fancy techflex for bling bling.

And the best part is that it'll prolly perform better then all of those crazy voodoo cryo treated rubbish you see all around for silly amounts of $$. Because those just use braided non shielded wires, while the proffesional mic cables are shielded and better insulated.
The custom built cables by non proffesional blokes are stiff like a #$@%$ too. So they'll prolly break sooner aswell.
