Topic: Preamp to Hi-MD

[IRiver19]

I need a cable to go from the output on my preamp to the line-in on my RH10.  I tried searching the boards, but the cable discussions were way over my head.  What type of cable do I need?  Does Radio Shack sell a decent one?  If not, where do you recommend I get it from online?  Thanks.

What pre-amp do you have?  Chances are you'll just need an 1/8" male to male cable.

I have Chris Church's STC-9000 preamp.

yep, you need a 1/8" patch cable. 

They have short ones and long ones at Radio Shack.  if you are looking for a higher quality cable have a freind build you one or order one from Chris Church.  He has the nice right angled mogami/nutriks, or he can make the straight plug.

, BTW , a cable should have came with your preamp?  On Church's ebay site it looks like they do come with a cable.


I wouldn't worry about the quality of the preamp cable.  The thing is so short it is not an issue.  Also it is transfering a line signal and not a sensitive mic level signal.  I would be willing to bet that a shitty cable would make no difference in the sound quality.  Its not like the I-River has mogami cabling inside of it.  It using hook-up wire.  The patch cable does not matter much IMO.
