Re: Alibaba Express
I bought a chinese cable (cheap, i should have known) a few months ago which exploded when I plugged it in... be careful!
Re: Alibaba Express
Yeah.. I've had same experiences. Sometimes it's a case of buy cheap , buy twice.

Re: Alibaba Express
This company made headlines because it had the largest IPO ever.
Huge market.
Friend of mine orders stuff like car accessories there. Sometimes shipping takes like 9 days.
Not sure about buying cables that cheap though. RCA and Jack cables are really easy to get
second-hand too.

Re: Alibaba Express
I think i heard that they have a bigger turnover than amazon and ebay combined, or something equally silly
Re: Alibaba Express
AxeD I recently went to this big and famous music store in Rome and they charge me every fracking cable between 7/8 euros. I got a stock of 8 from Alibaba for 6 dollars... and it's free shipping. I also imagine the company/store/etc charging me 7 euros for a single cable buy it exactly the same place where I bought it now (china) so unless the quality will suck so much I think it's convenient

Re: Alibaba Express
My exploding cable barely had enough metal in it to handle the current for a bicycle light bulb (thats my dutchness showing there), combined with dodgy soldering.
I was actually buying some cables yesterday, and the price ranges are ridiculous, you can pay as much or as little as you want. I just wont buy chinese cables anymore unless I can see that they are of reasonable thickness, and in general I will just go for european cables now.

Re: Alibaba Express
What are some cheap pedals that actually works?
Re: Alibaba Express
...I'll let you know how they are when I get them. Anyway I think it takes longer than 9 days. Probably a month since they come by boat. Regarding the pedals I got a rev, an analogue delay and a compressor. I will tell you if they're worthy.

Re: Alibaba Express
I got one of these over a year ago:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Heavy-Met ... 416f993c22
Mine was a bit cheaper than this one, its nothing special, and the "Mit" makes me chuckle, but is nice if you just want some brutal distortion. (Great with a filter afterwards!)

Re: Alibaba Express
Cheap pedals on Monoprice.

They have quality cables for cheap as well. I've used a lot of them, no problems whatsoever.

Re: Alibaba Express
used monoprice. not bad at all. they basically just gum up the end of their cables and connections with a ton of silicone so it doesn't move. -very strong and i guess (if i'm not imagining things), sound really robust.
recently though, i've decided to check out seismic and have been really happy with the company. and that's mainly because they're really cheap and come in colors so i can stay coordinated between types of cables. colors are pretty helpful in organizing cables if i'm rummaging for them in a pile of spaghetti. so seismic is also a decent alternative. i'm thinking they're really cheap because they ship from the factory. -something to consider.

Re: Alibaba Express
Colours FTW. Just ordered a bunch of different coloured midi cables. Figured it could only help, not hurt.

Re: Alibaba Express
You can get coloured audio cables as well. I also got cable ties that you can write on.

Re: Alibaba Express
I colour labeled all my cables when I redid my studio a few years ago.
All my cables are black, but I just bought a few rolls of gafa tape in different colours and used those to colour label them.
very handy indeed.

Re: Alibaba Express
i raided my daughters bag of coloured hair elastics. one corresponding colour on each end of cable. cheap and perfect.
