Took out the Sound Cords, put in the Belkin things that were all the rage a year or two back, and had to crank up the volume loads to achieve a similar level, why?

The Belkins are attenuating the signal, which is not necessarily a good thing.

So it's not black magic then?Originally Posted by Stratmangler
How do they manage that though without an attenuator then?

The cables themselves are attenuators.
All an attenuator is is a resistance placed in the signal chain, making the signal smaller.
Personally I'd bin the cables

Hmmm... I'm using a 'full loom' of these cables at the moment and I can't say I have had the same issue. Could be some sort of unwanted interaction with the amplifier? I'll swap them out a bit later and see if there is a difference in level.
