MP3 to Aux-in cable...which one?

[Ruthless Pastor 10+ year member]

I'm curious which cable you guys use. The only ones I've seen are from Monster Cable:

I hate the white color though, and this:

Any other suggestions are welcome. Didn't Knukonceptz sell them at one time?

Thanks...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

The question wasn't what it is but which one to get, also looking for suggestions.

Btw, Radio Shack sells about 4 different ones, including Monster Cable.

the only difference between them is quality...and price...

i use a basic radio shack brand Y- cable and my quality when using my ipod is good...and the price was good too; like $2...

the quality difference isn't even much of a difference when u compare them...

in my recording studio, i use both the monster y- cable and the radio shack y-cable.. and like i said, not a noticeable difference...

the moster cable is suppose to carry the signal better, but IMO it doesnt matter..they sound the same.. and gets the source to where it needs to be

there are plenty of different kinda...monster cables are usually over priced ..u can either go to radio shack or best buy...if i was u i would find a nice little buddy who works at best buy and get one...there like 1.50 that is with the employee discount...if even that much i used to work there

Yeah, I don't disagree with that one at all! I don't own any Monster Cable and my goal is to never do so!

However, there are differences in wire quality from one brand to the next and would prefer to have something that has thicker insulation, shielding & copper wire.

You don't want a "Y" cable...

A "Y" cable is for mono 1/8 to 2x RCA...

You just want a 1/8 Stereo to RCA. A 'Y' cable won't have a L&R... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
