Randy,

There is nothing wrong with using a stereo plug on both ends.  You can 
use an already constructed (purchased) stereo cable - the connector in 
the K3 is stereo, but wired for mono (that is nothing connected to the 
ring), so you will not be shorting the soundcard output.
If you build your cable, you may wire just the tip and the sleeve.  The 
tip is normally the left channel and the ring is the right channel.
