Let's talk about replacing Technics RCAs, which cables to use? monoprice are no good
Posted on: 03.01.2012 by Romelia Stankard
I used to buy all of my cables from monoprice and while a lot of their stuff is good I am not satisfied with their premium RCA cables. They are just too stiff and the wires are too thick that it makes them difficult attach to technics and zip tie to the board and you have to abandon the plastic clamping plate which usually secures the wires to the tone arm housing (anyone who has replaced cables on 1200s knows what I'm talking about). The connectors are also too bulky like monster cables and don't fit properly on soundcards like the Audio 8 with recessed RCA jacks.

So I am looking for quality RCA cables that are relatively cheap and have flexible wire that isn't overly huge with some nice connectors. I'm probably looking for 8'-12' to chop in half and have two cables for each turntable (I have 7 total I need to do now and plan on doing more in the future so I want to stock up). I know i can't beat $4 from monoprice but under $10 would be nice for something a lot better. I also don't feel like making cables, not worth the hassle here. The key is finding cables with wires that aren't too thick so they can be clamped with the technics plate.

Im looking for the same too... I just got some 1.5 premiums from monoprice to connect my audio 4 to my mixer and agree theyre too stiff and theyre too grippy on the rca's.

I know you said you didnt want to make your own cables but Canare cable and connectors are what I believe I'm going to use when I re RCA my tables.

Fullcompas.com and some company on ebay sells the Care cable with the connectors so thats an option. I believe i'm going to run they're mic cable from the table out for about 3ft then splice it out to two seperate cables from there.
