Truly amazed

[Spectral Morn]

Marco mate, thank you, thank you. I showed Bren your posting as she thought I was the only one on this planet who saved boxes etc in the loft... my day has improved as I know I'm not alone now

Cheerfully,
Ron

Me too Roof space full of equipment, speakers, cable boxes.

Another box hoarder here, though I lost a lot of my original hifi boxes when I split up from my first wife 10 years ago, but I am terrible for keeping boxes - even for a lot of my daughter's toys - you'd be surprised how much toys with their original boxes can be worth in years to come.

Not quite sure i like the look of that guys feedback 96% isn't very hot

I've only got 95% feedback. After 450 @ 100% some idiot with only 2 bought some PS1 games from me (I'd got with a PS1 player and never used.)
Rather than tell me, he just zapped me with "The games don't work" Neg feedback! After all that time going the extra mile to be a good seller!

I know exactly what you are saying, it must be bloody annoying I always check peoples feedback if i'm going to bid on an item they are selling, you can spot the idiot buyers that mess things up for sellers 99% of the time

A single negative wouldn't generally put me off. When there are a few though & recent from different buyers alarm bells start ringing

I think i was refering to feedback of a seller on Amazon which i don't deal with..

It's amazing how different people can give you negative feedback for minor issues.

I sent a Sony turntable a while back and the couriers managed to smash the dust cover into smithereens. The buyer sent me photos of the deck and packaging, I sent off the claim form to the courier company and a month later I got the cheque, which was forwarded on to the buyer. Buyer was so very patient and understanding, no negative comments at all.

Contrast that to the clown that gave me a negative because a turntable wasn't packed to his satisfaction. No damage to the turntable whatsoever, be he still went off on one nevertheless. Errrm, "inadequate packing" results in damage, yes?

Okay, okay, I admit it; I bought a pair.
(jeez, cant believe I’ve bought these. I swore I wouldn’t EVER but another pair of interconnects )
Trouble is, I couldn’t make a pair as specified at the price

John you keep playing every now and again with the dark side Lol

[Welder]

Pah, you may laugh John but look at it from my side.

I’ve got a narrow minded, cynical, and objectivist reputation to maintain and hiccups like this just aren’t healthy, particularly for my wallet which shakes and cringes in a corner the instant I mention Hi Fi

Many more like this and someone might take me seriously and then the shit will hit the fan

I couldn't take you seriously, but you have some very interesting & possibly enlightening pictures on here

Looks like a good life What's a few cables between friends

[serendipitydawg]

OK then folks, here's a way to get what is (I think the same cable) even cheaper if you want more than one pair.

This is advertised as a video cable - it's 75 Ohm, but just because the ones in the OP aren't described as such doesn't mean that they're not. Judging a book by the cover, I know, but they look to be identical except for the plug colour coding.

These are sold as single cables.
The price is £1
Postage is capped at £4.99, no matter what you buy from this site.

I ordered some of these and have to report that going by the picture on the packaging they seem not to be identical to the 2.4 metre ones mentioned earlier.

The conductors appear to be different also, with no mention of the hybrid conductor of differing dimensions. It specifically mentions silver plating whereas the audio specified cables don't. The video cables also have a thicker dielectric, so although they appear to be the same diameter as the audio cable the actual conductors are thinner.

I am deeply impressed with the audio cable. I'll try the video cables soon. Presumably they are sutable to be used as SPDIF cables??
