I just moved ~300km/180 miles to my parents house for the summer and of course I remembered to take my RME soundcard and Genelec monitors with me, but I forgot all the fucking cables, including the RME powersupply that isn't easy to come by. So that means I am stuck for 2 months using only the internal soundcard, crappy headphones and no recording possibilities as I don't want to travel 600km just to get 5 cables.

Oh well, atleast the Genelecs and the RME are safe from burglars...

If the rme psu is special you should at least be able to use your monitors with a normal PC cable, even if that means using unbalanced cables.

I run my both soundcards thru a small Behringer Xenyx listening mixer so the connection thing is not the problem, but the thing is that I forgot:

- the RME powersupply
- the long firewire cable between the PCI card and the RME interface
- the second xlr-jack cables for the Genelecs
- both powercables for the Genelecs

And I don't have ANY of those cables as extra with me, so I would have to go and buy them, but the thing is that I am pretty much broke for the next 3 weeks and after that I am going for a month to a cruiseship so I don't see the point in getting them. The thing is that I can get by with just headphones and not doing any music stuff for the next few weeks.

The landlord? Maybe you could call him and ask him to open the door for one of your friends and get the stuff.

...and pay 55€ for that? No thanks.

Dude, fucking buy a new batch or suck up the 55 Euro fee, there's no way in hell I could survive without my interface and monitors (especially if they were right in front of me the whole time! )

Quoted for truth.

send a copy of your key to a trusted friend and ask them to send you the cables. problem solved.

Power cables are like 2 euros a piece here. A pair of cables should be another 2-3. Isn't there anywhere you can buy some?
