mbogigian:
I’m looking into purchasing some xlr splitter cables, xlr to 1/4” adapters, and xlr to rca. Does anyone have suggestions for where to purchase cables and which places/websites to buy from? I do know about Gakabeles but wondering about alternative places. Are Amazon ones trustworthy?

Thanks in advance for the advice

Seismic Audio sells on Amazon and they have every kind of splitter/adapter/other cable known to man. Some of their stuff is not the top of the line and is similar to Hosa brand (which I've used shitloads of for years and never once had a problem) with molded ends. They have some nicer stuff with Neutrik and Switchcraft connectors, too.

I've had bad luck buying super cheap cables from Amazon. I bought a 4 pack of 15 foot XLRs since I needed some for my home studio and was feeling cheap. I think one of them might still work 3 years later with only occasional use.

Never had a problem with anything I bought from Seismic, though.

There's nothing wrong with HOSA stuff (in my opinion) if it's not in heavy duty use. I'd replace it when it begins to show wear, but my few have been just fine.

Thanks I’ll look into those. Not sure if you’ve heard of these.  So far I found these:

Mike, do you not want to go the Ted route because of time or you want something different? Do you need it for a show next week? I have Ted splitters and adapters of all sorts if you want to borrow them for a specific show. I live in Easton and work in Framingham. I think you are in Mass?
