Aux Cable

Has anyone been having trouble with their Aux cables or is it just me?? I've bought three already (all three were from different companies) but after a while they all die and only play music on the drivers side anyone else seen this before?? I'm just sick of buying cables all the damn time (even if they're like 10 bucks a pop)

I tend to stick with the sub-$1 aux cables and haven't had any problems. Are you shopping at Best Buy or something? 1/8"-1/8" and 1/8"-RCA cables are usually cheaper than dirt, and more money rarely gets you better performance.

I have seen molded 1/8" stereo plugs get dodgy if you flex the cable around a lot (or wedge them under/behind something) but if you're nice to them they're generally fine. In my experience the "nice" ones and the cheapies are equally prone to mechanical failure.

Doesn't the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit . . . unnatural? Support NORML
