Actually you could use those single cables with 3.5mm stereo plugs. Just get 3 of them and label which is which (with a sticker label) to identify each one. You could also buy each with different colors (to distinguish each cable).

Most shops selling audio and video hardware should have them And if you ran out of places to find then try Pasar Road.

You can find them in most electrical goods shops, especially those selling audio and video hardware such as TVs and HiFi sets.

Try looking around handphone accessories shops. If not mistaken iPhone has the same standard TRRS connectors...

Looking for dedicated cassete deck, or simple player such as those found in Walkmans, radio/cassette player and/or mini-component systems?

Found a few dedicated tape decks on Mudah.my (for KL area) not long ago, but those are gone (sold out methinks). Most the radio/cassete players I've seen do not have a working cassette player section (ie. spoiled). Same goes with my other cassette players on mini-HiFi and mini-component systems.

Is that headphone, earphone or IEM? And the reason for replacing the cable?

Is the cable broken and/or degraded, or just upgrading the cable? Can try me, but currently quite busy with lots of repairs (just PM me for more details)...

Can try Sri Computers in Low Yat Plaza, as they sell all sorts of hardware there including audio adapters. Other than that, try looking around Pasar Road.

Easiest solution is to hack a cheap headphone with a volume control. Also the cheapest and highly available solution...

Pure copper by itself is soft (easy to bend and deform), plus very easily oxidised in presence of just air alone. That's why most connectors are alloys...

Try searching Pasar Road area first, of all places.

Should be an easy job. Just remove the cheap headphone and attach a 3.5mm stereo socket, and you have your volume control.

Can find those everywhere, especially in mobile phone accessory shops.

What is your budget? You can actually get a dedicated AV receiver with integrated power amplifier and has those type of speaker terminals. Plenty of choices for dedicated AV receivers...

Aye, most AV receivers have all the necessary outputs for driving satellite speakers (front, rear, centre, etc) except subwoofer. You can still connect the subwoofer preamplifier output to an external dedicated amplifier to drive that passive subwoofer though...

If you want original good quality parts (such as Neutrik, Amphenol, Switchcraft, Belden, Van Damme, Gotham, etc) then recommend looking around online stores such as RS Components, Farnell/Newark/element14, Mouser, Digikey and Parts Express...

If not mistaken, you can find some Neutrik/Rean at Pasar Road though not sure about their authenticity. However if you want original/authentic stuff then look to those online stores I've mentioned earlier...

What was the speaker brand and model? And what was wrong with them in the first place?

This speaker system uses linear power supply, if not mistaken. If the fuse keeps blowing up then could be one of the components on the board before the transformer, or the main transformer itself. For your information, I do repair speakers though a little overload at the moment. If you are looking for quick fix, then I could take a quick look into it. Just PM me for more details...

He may need a guitar premplifier/amplifier first. Also can try using either 6.35mm-to-3.5mm adapter or 6.35mm-to-3.5mm cable, and connect it to the integrated audio input to test whether the his current audio hardware is able to detect the signals properly (as usually guitars outputs are of very low level or "instrument level" signals). Do note that the guitar signal connection is only mono (only one channel, on the stereo connection it would be the left one that will have the signals)...
