I am interested in some better than average quality dual RCA cables, about 1 foot long. Something like a Snap B5, decent quality but not $50 cables. Ethereal does not seem to sell them either. Everybody's entry point seems to be 3 feet or 1m. Do you have a source for something above Monoprice quality?
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.

Well if you've got the time I say just make them yourself. You can get everything you need online (www.markertek.com) for cheap and just solder them yourself. Or perhaps that website has what you're looking for already made.

Erm, I should have looked further. Actually, they do have 1.5 foot mogami male/male RCA cables.

...and others as well. Canare star quad is available in 1.5 foot as well. So, I hope this helps ya.

Cannot find anything other than eBay, Monoprice and the like.

The Monoprice units look decent - for the money get one in house and see what you think.

Assuming you want this for looks because at 1', it doesn't matter. You'll never hear the difference.

How about a link.

The place the Google finds doesn't show any RCA cables.

Tom,
I use a lot of Phoenix Gold cables and some Fosgate cables from the car audio
distributor, as that was my past life.
Most of the time they are used to hook up sonos to the multichannel amplifiers.
I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other.

Blue Jeans Cable is the minimum I would use for pre-terminated cables. They use proper Belden cables and charge reasonable prices: [Link: bluejeanscable.com]

I don't know if you're blocking more than I am, but www.planetwaves.com was the second link that showed up with I googled 'Planet Waves Cables'.

I use them, too- first time was about ten years ago and because I hate extra cable that has been bundled and just takes up space, I used it in a rack- haven't touched any of the connections since. They have RCA, BNC & 1/4" ends and I haven't had any come off, even when pulled by the cable. I use them between my guitar effects and they made an audible difference because they don't do anything to the signal other than conduct it- the old ones were cheap, crappy ones that came 5 for $10 and had been stepped on, bent, etc.
My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."
