Where to find short RCA cables
I'm trying to clean up my system and need some cables as short as 6". I currently am using monoprice cables as they have 18" and already found 1 that was bad and may have another as the system has occasional cut outs. Should I just make my own and if so what parts would you recommend?

Re: Where to find short RCA cables
Second the BlueJeans Cable recommendation. I've found their cables more than serviceable, and at reasonable prices. The Belden cable stock is the same as you might find in a professional stage rig, the connectors and construction are good quality, and for a 6" length, there's barely enough cable there for it to impart much character even if it's not uber-audiophile grade stuff.

Re: Where to find short RCA cables
While I'm all in favor of short RCA interconnects and AC power cords, 6 inches seems to be too short.

Re: Where to find short RCA cables
When you have 2 dbx 1.75" rack mount units together in the rack 6" is perfect. I have decided to build my own cables and bought 200 feet of Belden 1505F. Any recommendations on male RCA and 1/4" TRS connectors would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, TJ

Re: Where to find short RCA cables
Funny you should recommend that. I just bought 44 RCA male connectors and 14 1/4" TRS connectors from them this AM. I also have 200 feet of Belden 1505F on the way.
Thanks for the help and recommendation - TJ

Re: Where to find short RCA cables
Some custom installers get their bulk unlabeled cables from MonoPrice. Same old MonoPrice cables just no labels.

Re: Where to find short RCA cables
I just finished building 7 cables between the pre-amp, 5 processors, and the active crossover. I used Belden 1505F cable and Canare RCA/TRS connectors. WOW what a difference. Unbelievable! And I haven't even gotten to the power amp rack, or the inputs to the pre-amp yet. I'm hearing mixing mistakes and notes I've never heard before. I thought it was BS spending big $ on cables but paid the price with Monoprice cables. Count me as a convert!

Re: Where to find short RCA cables
Welcome to the fold. One of my audio epiphanies was good cables (along with MC carts & use of a SUT). Thankfully, long ago.
Any of the 'known-good' cable makers (WW, Kimber, DHLabs, etc.) will make up their cables for you in the 0.5m or any other length you want. Most will deal with you direct if you wish to cut out the middleman. The downside is some of the middlemen may give you a better price.

I don’t understand the whole iPhone app to control the amp approach. I like a good old fashioned remote. The new Rogers amp we have in the store is all “app to control it”. No remote. Guess what?...
