Hello iMac listers, Is there any kind of adapter that fits in the iMac's mic input jack? I want to connect some stereo equipment to it, but (unless I'm reading it wrong) it requires an "extended" stereo mini-plug, such as those used on the PlainTalk microphones. I know about the little round USB audio adapter thingee from Griffin, but who wants to spend $35 for some gadget when a $5.00 adapter would do the same thing? What do the rest of you use to get external audio into your iMacs?
My current work-around solution is to crank up the old PowerMac 7600 and record through its phono plugs and then use a crossover cable to transfer the file to the iMac. This is a real pain in the patootie. Is there a better, more direct yet inexpensive way? What if I bought a PlainTalk microphone, cut off the microphone, attach a standard 1/8" (female) stereo plug from Radio Shack? Would that work?
