desperately need some new insulated cables

phono to jack

my current ones i paid £1 for out poundland or something and there is the most hideous electric interference crackle coming out of krk's because of this. how i didnt see that coming i dont know lol

anyway, ideally want 2 separate leads, i.e. one phono (L) to jack, then another phonno (R) to jack

the 2 leads will then feed into a twin jack to mini-jack converter until i get a new soundcard (:roll:)

anyone can halp? been looking online but cant really see shit

failinmg that anyone have recommendations for a phono to jack (or minijack) that is already split so that each phono end can reach my speakersesesesesssss?!!?

safe yo/

so basically you have a stereo minijack out from your soundcard and either phono orr xlr inputs on your speakers?

That rules out balanced cable, and I don't think there's a lot of point in going minijack to xlr. So I'd just go for something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Techlink-Wires1 ... 510&sr=8-2

setup hasnt changed, have always had the interference :|

using internal soundcard (i know, i know)

cheap rca to minijack from my krk rp6's straightinto the back of my mac

REALLY need to stop the hiss. one assumes that because the cable cost £1 it is probably that

does the krackle get worse when you move the cable at either end?

how long is cable? Could it be shorter? Is it crossed by power cables?

I'm sufre all those cable up there are ok.

try and keep the cable away from crossing close to other cables especially power.

mate, probably the issue is your on board sound - they get a lot of hums and noise. You could spend £80 on a cheap usb audio device that will probably alleviate the issue. Do you know anyone with an audio interface who can test theirs out round your's to make sure it has the required effect?
