Title: What's the best kind of cable to use going out of a pre-amp into a recorder?
Post by: tapersaregeeks on February 15, 2011, 09:26:18 PM
I just bought some CA-14's and a CA-9100 and I have never used a pre-amp before and I just noticed I'm going to need a cable going from the output jack to my Edirol R09H. Any suggestions? Thanks.

The kind that passes a signal is what I would go for.

You just need a 1/8" to 1/8" cable (also called a stereo mini jack (ie a normal headphone cable end on both sides of the cable)).  Something like this:

Chris can get (make?) you the cable you need too.  I got mine with the CA package for like 30 bucks I think, and before I lost it on jam cruise it was a very solid cable.

Though as kirkd pointed out, the cable is the most important part of the rig so if you can find the K2 in a 1/8" that would probably be your best bet.   ;)

I prefer mil-spec silver-coated copper cables for my "rig" :) Also, the Belden 1804a is good stuff too!

I think a TechFlex wrap provides more strength and less chance for failure.

LOVE the reviews.

Absolutely!  Some of them are so funny, I nearly pissed my pants laughing.  A few of the comments are equally classic.  ;D

My personal favorite -

"We live underground. We speak with our hands. We wear the earplugs all our lives.

PLEASE! You must listen! We cannot maintain the link for long... I will type as fast as I can.

DO NOT USE THE CABLES!

We were fools, fools to develop such a thing! Sound was never meant to be this clear, this pure, this... accurate. For a few short days, we marveled. Then the... whispers... began.

Were they Aramaic? Hyperborean? Some even more ancient tongue, first spoken by elder races under the red light of dying suns far from here? We do not know, but somehow, slowly... we began to UNDERSTAND.

No, no, please! I don't want to remember! YOU WILL NOT MAKE ME REMEMBER! I saw brave men claw their own eyes out... oh, god, the screaming... the mobs of feral children feasting on corpses, the shadows MOVING, the fires burning in the air! The CHANTING!

WHY CAN'T I FORGET THE WORDS???

We live underground. We speak with our hands. We wear the earplugs all our lives.

Do not use the cables!"
