I'd carry the cable with the screw on adapter screwed on
It's just an esthetic thing. I was curious if what I wanted was available, that's it. Leave me alone
I just want a cable to throw in my travel bag. And the fewer cables the better, basically. I was just doing 4pin to mini with a non-screw in adapter. I suppose I can just make a 4pin to 1/4 and be done, I just happen to like the screw on adapters.
