Maybe I've just been lucky but I bought 5 cheap y-splitters for about $0.25 each and I've been using them for 5 years with no issues. They're so convenient I rarely have to use my multiples module. In fact, they're so good I just bought another 3 yesterday.
link?
I wish I had one. I bought them in a local music store and they are brand-less. They look identical to the ones at amazon, but without the gold plating.

I use a couple of the splitters from radioshack, and they have held up just fine, though I am very delicate with them, maybe they are a little better quality than one would expect from there, I really like the look of the y cables though, seems much sturdier.

Sort of a side topic but I have noticed that almost all synthesizers.com modules have the jacks oriented so the tip prong is at the top. That way as a plug is "hanging" it will push even tighter against the tip prong. Darn gravity! :mad:

It should be noted that a few vendors do not get this detailed in assembly. I never did with my DIY projects until I had a problem with a jack once.

I might be a killjoy, but I'd be concerned the metal jack barrels swing and scratch or ding something.

You could always buy plastic heat-shrink and put them on the barrels to alleviate that, but yeah, I can see where that might be a problem otherwise.

stopped by ratshack to try their version of the adapters out and voila. boom. they work like a charm. much nicer construction than the ones in the link at the top of the thread, plus the ones at the top of the thread are for male mono to dual female stereo. odd. odd and terribly made.

it appears i can recommend the ratshacks and i suppose i will hereby give up my 1/4" stackables quest as gur hasn't even returned my message.
