Looking for an affordable ($50 ballpark) Mini to RCA adaptor, anybody have any suggestions?  My first thought was ALO but when I looked at their selection it was uhh, a bit out of my price range.  I also know Zu makes one but again a bit more than I'd want to spend.  I was hoping Blue Jeans makes one but they don't, at least that they advertise on their website (I'm guessing they aren't open today), though I'll probably give them a call on Monday.  Any other options out there?

PS- I'm looking for a mini to rca adaptor that would allow me to hook up my iPod or other to my system, so mini plug to left and right RCA's.

Hey Iron,
You can also get a single piece molded mini-to-RCA plug, and use regular RCAs to the preamp.

My "expensive" plug adapter, ~ $10 from Audioquest, has the L and R channels flipped.

I think it was Ethan Winer who tought me "Ring is Right" (The ring on the mini-plug is the right channel) Thanks Ethan

IronLion, I would take a look at the classifieds on Headfi.org.  Good quality ones pop up all the time.

I hope you can afford $0.51 (plus shipping)

Signal Cable has one, one in copper and one in silver, both of high quality.  I used the silver version for a while until I changed my rig around.

$10 or so.

I use one of these.  It is made from Belden wire, so you know what you are getting (like Blue Jeans Cable).

I bought mine a few years ago...same manufacturer (from Headroom Corp)...works well.  I think it was a little less expensive back then....the constructions looks a little different today's version.

They look like full size rca barrels for one...mine had the mini size ones (for tight connections to the back of gear)

Thanks for all the suggestions.  Dweekie do you know the unit of the "length" option is?  I'm guessing its inches...

[dweekie]

I honestly don't remember since it's been a year or more.  The pricing should line up very similarly to Blue Jeans Cable; otherwise, I wouldn't have bought it.  Therefore, I believe it is in feet.  Also, having a maximum of 5ft (60 inches) as an option seems far too short if the scale is in inches.  I suppose a phonecall or email would clear that right up.
