What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

Now, I'll be on the hunt for good quality RCAs with a price I can live with, so I can connect this puppy without losing too much. (Any and all suggestions welcome.)

Do not see anything smaller than 12 ft - however, look at this
ETHEREAL EXS-A4 Silver Plated Studio Stereo RCA Audio Cable 12.9ft | Accessories4less

I'm not a fan of silver-plating electrical or electronic components. Silver tarnishes and its conductivity diminishes. Rhodium is the best metal for plating for conductivity, hardness and resistance to tarnishing, but I don't think I've ever seen any rhodium-plated audio cables. Therefore, stick with gold-plated or unplated.

(Edit: now that I look at zieg's link, it looks they're not so much "silver-plated" as "silver-soldered", which I have no problem with.)

I'm a fan of KabelDirekt stuff. It's thick gauge, well shielded, and looks great. If you don't mind spending a little more, Blue Jeans Cable is a staple around here.

Thanbks for the heads up on the cables, I will look into both options.

Wow, looks like if you buy a KabelDirekt RCA cable on Amazon you can get your choice of a free mono sub / digital coax RCA cable, a toslink cable, an HDMI cable, or an F-Pin cable. They didn't have that last time I ordered. Too bad I've already got more cables than I need and my wife has started looking at me sideways whenever a new package arrives with my name on it.

Well then, I guess resistance was futile - hope it works out for you.

I hate going into my HT Dealer, I always buy something !! He did have a person return a 2 day old Golden Ear ForceField 4, list $699 Purchased for $425.00. Decent sub, but was a match for the other one I have in my bedroom setup. Happy my little Integra 30.5 does 7.2

Please note my cables are not normally this sloppy

I hope so too. If not no more Cd changers forme. It will suck having to play one cd at a time. The price was to good to pass up on the 595.

Well, I finally did it. After waiting for over half a year for the Rapoo E9090P to be released, I just pre-ordered... something different.

Logitech K830 -- wireless rechargeable illuminated keyboard with a touch pad. It doesn't have inductive charging like the Rapoo will have. But it does have a right mouse button, which I like better. And I'm sick of waiting.

Happy father's day, me!

Got a new gym bag/all purpose duffle. I cheaped out on the last one and have regretted all 6 or so months of that. Now almost every zipper on it is broken and it's time to replace it.

It looks like a nice keyboard but damn, it costs a lot!

 

[rojo]

Yeah, I don't see it being an impulse buy for many people. But it is much cheaper than the diNovo Edge, anyway, and with pretty much the same capabilities but with a larger touch pad.

I bought be one of these for Father's Day.... cones with 2 Lithium Ion 18V batteries and a charger for $100 Cdn. I have a Bosh jigsaw and Bosh reciprocating saw and both have served me well for many years.

When are you going to talk about the other thing (sound wise), that you had done?

Had a setback without the CD player. Coming soon.
