    Hi, I'm looking for 2 different adapters. A 1/4" to 3.5mm stereo adapter plug, and a 3.5mm male to male extension cord. I got my headphone amplifier, but it only has 1/4" plugs. What I'm looking for is surprisingly hard to find. My local walmart had none, I wont go to Radio Shack because their adapters are low quality, but expensive. Newegg and Amazon searches returned very little.
    Anyone have any suggestions? :)

    Edit: Nevermind. I finally found what I was looking for! :rolleyes: :p

    The 3.5mm male to male can be called a mini to mini interconnect.

    Monoprice.com best place to get most stuff if they have what you need.

    I do believe you want to adapter from larger headphone jack to smaller one.

    For only $0.61 each when QTY 50+ purchased - 3.5mm Stereo Plug to 6.35mm (1/4Inch) Stereo Jack Adapter | 3.5mm <--> 6.35mm (1/4Inch) Adapters

    and the extension

    For only $1.61 each when QTY 50+ purchased - 3ft Premium 3.5mm Stereo Male to 3.5mm Stereo Male 22AWG Cable (Gold Plated) - Black | 3.5mm Audio M/M Cables

    Just incase you worded it wrong, they do have the other kind of adapter that goes from smaller to larger, and they have various lengths of the male to male cable. I just picked 3ft since that sounds about average.
