bubinga5 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Pretty fed up of buying cheap AUX cables and 1/4 inch adaptors from Amazon. Any idea where I can find these two items that actually last.? Thanks for any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigguy2017 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) For 3.5mm to 1/4" mono cables I buy a long (4m) moulded, quality 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable, cut it in half and solder on Neutrik 1/4" jacks. IMHO the moulded 3.5mm ends are generally better than home-made 3.5mm ends. The Ugreen braided cables on Amazon are good quality. For full home-made the Rean 3.5mm jacks are very good and have a solid cable clamp. They do one with a large cable hole too.

Using ready-made 3.5mm cables and cutting them in half is the easiest way, but I am always wary of moulded plugs. They can hide a multitude of sins, even on the big brands. Also braided cables bring their own problems. I agree that the Rean plugs are some of the best, especially with the Neutrik brand behind them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I use rather Neutrik than Rean, if possible. Rean still feels too Chinese after the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite bizarre just how satisfying it is to take delivery of a new, really well-made cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
