oh ok, my bad

 

[grinch]

paying $110 for a mini to mini cable seems a bit silly to me..

vandit:

what source are you going to be using? a PCDP?
what amp?

that money might be better spent upgrading your source if thats an option. sorry that i havent tried the Ted's cable to give you an opinion.

 

[vandit]

welp, i ordered it anyway.. haha
the guy (headroom) said there is an improvement compared to the kimber..

ill update later

i am also looking for quality mini to mini cable but i want something fairly flexible, not too stiff, any ideas? how is the teds mini compared to the kimber..?

austonia-

You might talk to JMT I have heard his silver lace cables our pretty flexible and might be what youre looking for.

what do you guys think of this

http://www.markertek.com/MTStore/pro...BaseItem=SC3MM
"3.5mm Mini Male To 3.5mm Mini Male Audio Cable"

or this


http://www.markertek.com/MTStore/pro...seItem=SC3MZMZ
"Balanced (Stereo) 3.5mm Male To Balanced 3.5mm Mini Male Audio Cable"
6ft/$17

seem cheap, look like tough cabling? Any reason why I shouldn't get the "balanced stereo" cable? I want to order this if it is the right thing to connect my mini amps to a portable source.

That must be a serious cable. more than I might pay. Just wondering what you are using source and amp. I compared a Homemade Homegrown with switchcraft connectors to the Headroom $20 cable. The Homegrown was slightly, I mean slightly.

sorry, not quite sure I understand you. I need a mini to mini cable to connect a PCDP or MP3 player to a portable headphone amp. Markertek offers two kinds of these, one is "regular" the other is "balanced stereo" - I am unsure what the difference is. can you clarify?

I am also reading about how to DIY cables in the threads here but for the sake of getting some decent cables quick, Markertek seems to have a good fairly cheap cables compared to Headroom's which appear overpriced.

The Markertek's are nice cables. Really, really nice for the money. Search the archives to find others opinion of them.

The difference between the standard Markertek and the Balanced is this:

The standard is a MONO cable. Most definitely NOT what you want to connect your PCDP/source to your amp--unless you want to only hear music from one side of your headphones.

The Balanced Stereo is just that--Stereo. And, naturally this is the one you want. Make sure you specify the difference if you order one from Markertek.

dude... don't even think about buying that thing. you can get neutrik mini plugs + enough silver/teflon wire for 1ft for much less than $20 in materials (not counting shipping.) i dunno how much JMT would charge... but i'm sure he would give it to you for 1/2 that outrageous cable, and you'd get as good a cable as anyone would have. ...or heck, i can make you one for a price too.
