I'm an exception then Robb, because ALL my 1/8" cables have rt-angle on both ends  except 1 cable :)

I think your the exception to the rule on a lot of things  ;D

I tried to use a R/A 1/8 mini plug on my MMA6000 and got a spotty connection. It would look like it was in snugly but either no signal or lots of static. So I shipped the cable off to darktrain and he swapped the r/a with a standard straight plug and I've had no issues since.

Yeh, it really does vary, sometimes neutrik straights work better than the RA's and vice versa and sometimes the switchcrafts fit better, one thing though is that the panel connector Jon uses on his tinyboxes is awesome, they seem to hold any connector tight.

I was just going to post about needing one of these, too - Naiant Tinybox to Edirol R-09 or R-09HR.  Wouldn't want a very long cable.  What would be the shortest you would suggest darktrain?

personally i like to leave a little "wiggle" room and go a bit longer and is it for "less than open" or open taping? And are the unit together or seperated?

Almost always for stealth, I have a different open rig.  I just got the tinybox, so haven't used it yet, but I often put an elastic band around the preamp and recorder to keep them together, thus figuring a short cable makes better sense than the one I have now. 

On another note, I jsut saw another post you made where you suggest a right angle at one end and a straight connection at the other for greater versatility.  So now I have a second option to consider.  ;D



For what it's worth, I use a straight connector out of the tinybox and right angle into the recorder (I'm using an Olympus LS-10) and that works pretty well. I think the one I'm using is 1', that seems about right as long as you have the units together or next to each other. Mostly "less than open" applications.
