Better adapter for portable CD players?

Hi everyone, I need a bit of help here. I just bought the 1/8" mini plug "Y" adapter from Radio Shack that goes from a portable CD player to stereo rca plugs. I would prefer to try an adapter that allows me to use my own choice of rca interconnects. Is there such a thing, and if there is , where can I get one. I need to play an occasional CD-R, and my Sony 9000ES won't cooperate.Thanks in advance. Martin

Twisted Pair Design sells one. It is called the "Game Junkie". I use one on my portable cd player to my headroom Little and it was a signficant upgrade.

Thanks to all.I would still appreciate any other suggestions. Sedond, I tried Music-direct but could only find CD's etc., and not cables. Sm121,can you recommend a dealer who carries the Twisted Pair design? Pfront, I'l check out headroom. com later.

music-direct sells quite a bit of hardware; i'd email 'em or call 'em... perhaps some cable mfr's would also be worth contacting.

good luck, doug s.

If I understood your question correctly, Radio Shack also sells a plug which goes from the stereo mini plug to 2 female jacks, which would let you use any cables you want. I use this on my portable cd player and it works fine.

Thanks Joe, That's my first choice. I thought they might, but their saleman assured me they didn't. I will check again. Since I have some good interconnects sitting around, I thought it might be worth a try. If that doesn't show some improvement over their other adapter, I'll look further into the other most excellent suggestions.
