My take on this is that really the physical cable (as long as its of a sufficient CSA) really doesnt have much at all to do with it. Its the connections. How one peice of copper can be any better than another is really beyond me. Its all just electrons moving through a peice of metal...

Thanks, I'll prolly go buy it this weekend! Im tired of my old one skipping.

Anyone else got any views on these machines ?

The local RC Willey store has DVD players on sale/closeout. I know theyre the discontinued models, but I'm not a big 'must have the latest' fan and just wondered how much better the higher model is for the money. They have a Denon DVD 900 for $200 or a DVD 1600 for $300. Theres also a...

Domestic supply should usually have 3 connections. A live or feed, a neutral or return and an earth or ground. The two flat pins are live and neutral, the big round pin is the ground. The neutral does eventually go to ground, but only wayyyyy back up the supply line at the mains...

Just to add my 0.02 ... I work in the oil industry where we use alot of cables of all varieties to carry both sensetive and extremely safety-critical signals. First off, we use alot of fiber-optics. It's primarily used for two reasons - signal purity and effective transmission length...

I've just bought a pair of Infinity 150s to complement my Denon AVR 1803. First impressions are pretty good! Especially for $99 a shot. I'll be getting the 250s next month ($199 each) followed by the center ($199) and sub (3 models to choose from)the month after. I'll see what it all...

I'm looking to replace the venerable old set we have with a digital. I was looking at the 2.4Gig but after all the problems with interference I was going to go for the 900Mhz type. You can get all the multi-handset kits and everything, plus being 'outdated' theyre alot cheaper. I guess...

Prozac Addiction More Prozac Addiction I'm not going to get into the in's and outs of everything here so just have a read before you make any further comments. I know Eve is just after some advice. Meds are great as long as you NEED them and the doc knows what hes doing. I myself...

Best advice I can give is find someone with the same interests as you. People say 'opposites attract' and to me thats a recipe for disaster. Find a chick that likes movies for a start! Ok they dont necessarily have to be into everything you do, but think about you main hobby passoins...

Aint all cars expensive in the UK ? ;) I used to live there and next to petrol prices was one of my pet peeves. Then income tax .. Then VAT .. But I digress! Now - the new mini .... I've owned 3 of the old style ones and I'm sorry but they ruined it!!! The old one was a...

Finance companies RELY on people not being financially wise to make their money. Perfect example : The 'Buy Now Pay Later' scheme. Anyone who is clever, buys the product and puts the money away each month to enable them to pay off the debt on time gains out of the deal. They get to use...

I used to live in the UK, now in the USA, so I guess I've seen both sides. We lost the 1/2 penny years ago - shame as as a kid we used to buy 2 candies for a penny :P Still ... I dont really miss it. We also lost the pound note years ago, gained the pound coin AND the 20p coin. The...

Yup .... bit like Michael Jackson .. Sure he was a bit freaky but don't ya think the kids dad saw it as a way to get rich - just cause a stink till you get enough $$$$ to make you shut up. Fame is great, but all the attention aint going to be good all the time. I'll stick with just...

Well what a first post! I only came on here to get me up to speed on US HT technology lol. So: The running away thing - I'm not sure that its running away as dealing with the root causes of the problem. Its certainly not a bad thing if it does the trick. I sold up and went travelling a...
