Need a y-cable

[thirdrate]

I need a 1/8" stereo --> 2 1/4" mono.. cable of a decent quality. Hard to find..

ps - for the time being, If I take a 1/8" cable, a 1/4" cable, a knife, scissors and some tape.. cut, slice, and put together, will that sound like trash?

You'll need solder if you want even a prayer of that working...

Hosa makes these things... a good music store should have 'em. Or try an online place like http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837 or http://www.musiciansfriend.com

Yeah, I've seen those, but Hosa cables are of questionable quality, according to many on this bbs... but they're ubiquitous, and cheap.

I've found a Monster 1/8" stereo --> dual RCA mono males ,but that isn't exactly what I need, and a five foot cable will cost me $40.

I don't mean to get into the cable quality and brand war, but it is nice to have options..

Go to your nearest Radio Whack store.

Make a Y box instead of a Y cable!

Screw making a "Y" Cable.
Make a "Y" BOX!

Buy the following:

1 - 1/8" Stereo Jack.
2 - 1/4" Mono Jacks.
2 - RCA Jacks.
1 - Experimenter's Box.

You're looking at a $20 Investment at Radio Shack.
Then just Solder the 1/8" jack to the two 1/4" Jacks, and tap the RCA jacks off of the 1/4" Jacks (so that you can go RCA into it if you need to.

Then either buy or MAKE a 1/8" Stereo to 1/8" Stereo Cable...If you make it, you can make it from a Mic Cable and it will be a hell of alot better than most of the ones you'll buy.
