  I think this is more for that time you’re at a gig and realise you’re missing the adapter.

    That does make sense, although it would be weird to go to a gig and not have a 1/4" to RCA adapter but happen to have large-gauge copper wire.

      They just leave that shit in the walls in almost every building

        Proprietors generally don’t care for big holes in their drywall.

      That’s true…

      Might be an electrician.

      Much easier to procure at a random hardware store than the adapter though ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      Exactly what I just said before I saw your comment. Who carries thick copper wire with them regularly?

    … And you just happen to have a piece of like 12 or 14 AWG copper wire on hand?

      … Do you not?

        Nah, I only carry around 6 gauge wire in my pocket.

      I thought it was TIG filler wire, which is copper plated

        Which would make it even more odd for a musician to have lol

    Overnight? Do you deliver overminute?

  You don’t always have the luxury of time though. I work in entertainment, and I’ve definitely scrapped adapters together in a pinch. When you have a show starting in 15 minutes and a musician rolls up with some bespoke gear with weird connections, your only real choice is to bodge something together and make it work.

  Nothing quite like seeing five adapters chained together, to go from stereo RCA to TRS 1/8” to TRS 1/4” to dual TS 1/4”, to XLR… All because you didn’t have a direct box that went straight from RCA to XLR, because another musician walked off with it after their show wrapped up at 2AM last night.

  And how much is the delivery fee?

  Apparently there is at least one RadioShack open. I saw a dude post a video on YouTube about one he found in Wyoming.

    There’s one in Afton, Wy if that’s what you’re talking about. It has a giant “We Are Open!” sign that reminds me of Clerks

      Yeah I think that’s the one. The video randomly popped up in my recommendations.
