Amen Warrior Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I've always just schlepped to dolphinmusic, i've never explored any other alternative, wheres the cheapest place to pick up standard 1/4" jack to jack trs and midi cables? I always forget to factor in the price of cables before i buy stuff, the amount of cables i need as of NOW will set me back like £50. Boo-urns.

mcbpete Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Maplin probably. I've got a drawer full of wires looking like the guy at the end of tetsuo the iron man, and they probably cost me like £30 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures I haven't eaten a Wagon Wheel since 07/11/07... ilovecubus.co.uk - 25ml of mp3 taken twice daily.

This is a good idea - however i've never had any experience doing this at all, could an idiot child do it or is it something that i'll have to learn to do properly? Or - what i really want to know is if theres anywhere that sells 4-6m audio cables in bulk or packs instead of just pairs?

This is a good idea - however i've never had any experience doing this at all, could an idiot child do it i mean what kind of idiot child are we talking about here anyway. bnc and xlr plugs can be tricky (bnc cause it can be finnicky and xlr because you'll have to pay good attention to the pin configuration depending on the application), but bnc isn't that common for music and xlr is expensive and heavy-duty so it's worth spending tricky time on. one way and the other you'll just have to connect the cable to the plug and that's that!!
