    Default Where to buy cheap ILDA cables?

    just as the title says: Where can i buy cheap ILDA cables?

    i found this:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cables-Go-DB...712474&sr=8-38
    but amazon does not works with europe
    any others?

    laserworld export prices seems to be expensive:

    ILDA EXT-3 5,50 €

    ILDA EXT-5 9,35 €

    ILDA EXT-10 15,40 €

    ILDA EXT-25 31,90 €

    excl. shipping ( €10,00 ) and VAT (19%)

    Drop Francesco a PM.
    I bought one from him a while back - don't know if he's still got any left, but the 25m cable was top notch.
    - There is no such word as "can't" -
    - 60% of the time it works every time -

    Perhaps searching for DB-25 cables on computer-related sites will yield more results.. I found 25 foot lengths at tigerdirect for less than $10.. they are male/male, but a gender changer will solve that. If you need longer cable runs you can daisy chain, or use a wireless network by either controlling your PC remotely or by using a networked USB HUB or similar. Of course you can buy longer runs of purpose-built male/female DB-25 cable, but I've been able to save a ton of cash and at the same time make setup simpler by using one DB-25 cable and remotely controlling the computer that the DAC is attached to with another laptop using VNC. There is some very small lag with VNC, so if that bothers you you could use the USB hub above and attach your DAC directly to that. Then you can place your control computer anywhere that the wireless network will reach.

    EDIT: accidentally linked to a 25' null-modem cable.. fixed link.
