Cheep, useable connectors?

[Garak]

I want to make up some cables and patching for around the studio. Right now I don't really have the money to spend on neutrik or switchcraft connectors.

All I want right now is something that will get the job done for now, IE it dosen't have to last very long.

Where can I find really cheep XLR, TRS and 1/4" connectors online?

So far I've been doing fine with rca cables and 99 cent for two rca to 1/4" adapters. I just want to get some ballanced stuff.

Buy cheap, buy twice.

Switchcraft TRS are like $1.40 each, XLR for like $1.99 each. Spend the money.

Thats the idea, buy twice...

Right now I'm only learning and I'm not making much money and I need some cheep connectors to make the cables I need for now. In a year or two down the road when I start making some money I plan on replacing just about all my gear to get better stuff.

A year from now I may not be recording anymore at all. A year ago I didn't know what xlr was little lone know how to use compression or what the diffrence is between 16 bit and 24 bit. Right now I have a Behringer 2004 mixer, a delta 44, a SP C1 mic, 2 57's, a Pair of yorkville YSM-1i montiors.

The only think I plan on keeping in this setup are the Montiors and the C1 and maybe the 57's they are always usefull for something.

I hear ya. I'm financially challenged myself, and I've had to cut corners a lot more than I'd like, but with the assumption that I'm going to replace the inferior stuff when the cash allows (and it has quite a bit already).

The only company online I know of is Alltronics (http://www.alltronics.com/), but you'd probably be better off with a local electronics store (but NOT Radio Shack unless it's an emergency).
