I need LOTS of cheap, pre-made dual and triple RCA cables, for stereo audio and
for video/stereo audio. RadShack is too pricey, and even Wal-Mart is too
expensive. What is a good place to get cheapies?

Markertek actually stocks the cheapies at a good rate. I worked on a thing
recently where they needed 300 mini phone to mini phone cables and Markertek
shipped them the same day.

I'll add that I think using the cheapies is false economy, but then I think
using RCAs is false economy....

Sometimes one can find RCA cables at partsexpress.com for about $0.79
each.

Find a dealer that sells the Cable Up brand. They're about as cheap as
I've found.

I suppose you could look in a dumpster behind Circuit City.

Weird, I can't see my original post or replies on AOL,only on Google, where I
can't reply.

Someone,maybe Scott Dorsey asked, "Why use RCAs at all? Simple answer!:

I was baout to buy a 16x16 matrix routing switcher for my small TV studio, and
I was about to get the balanced audio option - those funny little screw-in
connectors - and suddenly it hits me:

ALL of my video decks are in/out: DVCam, DV, SVHS, Hi8, 3/4", DVD. ALL of my
audio decks are RCA: CD, cassette, DAT, etc. My connections from DV to NLEs via
a Canopus are RCA. The cable company modulators that transmit to the headend
are RCA. The Leightronix event controller that fires and switches tape decks to
air is all RCA.

So I went with the Knox 16x16 router with stereo RCAs instead.

Now, I hate RCAs as much as the next guy, and I particularly hate them for
video (I can pop a BNC onto a length of RG6 in seconds) but if all my audio
connections are RCA, I might as well stick with it.

Thanks to all for the leads to cheap cables!
