Hey Kelly I have a Monster Interlink 400 MKII mini to RCA (2m). I'm not sure about the sheilding problems you just said coz i sure didn't have problems with mine ; not to mention that my cable is very close to my surge protector. I now use an Onkyo USB Sound Processor (its an external sound card for short )so i don't even use my mini to RCA interconnect. So much better than a PC's internal soundcard. How about spending your money on an external sound card instead of a high quality cable? Anyway, i'm thinking about selling my Monster mini to RCA. Let me know if you're interested. I only used it for a couple months and its in great condition. (hehe! can't believe i am selling my cable here) There a couple of mini to RCA's out there. Just like the other person said, check out headroom. I beleive they have Kimber and Straightwire mini to RCA. Also check out the Acoustic Research Pro Series mini to RCA and not the Performance (blue colored) series. Good Luck!!!
