y-audio cable

[whateverman]

hey i am having trouble finding a y-audio cable (1/8" to rca) long enough for my room. my computer and receiver are about 15 feet apart and i can not find a cable long enough to connect the two (so i can play mp3s or cds from my computer and hear them through my speakers). does anyone know where i could find one long enough?

You may need to take it in two steps.

The longest I've seen is 6'. A Juncture in the middle won't kill ya.

Or you can use something like this,

Now any RCA male-male cable can be used.

Generally, using this type of connection method, which means you are passing a headphone level voltage to the reciver, doesn't yeild good sound quality.
