Speaking of cables...

I just tried to go to the Blue Jeans Cables site and it didn't come up. Are they gone, or is the site just down? I hope they're not gone, they were BY FAR the most affordable decent cables I'd found.

LOL... Saturn, you're a hoot!

i just tried thier site, it must be down. Have you seen these www.cobaltcable.com/index.htm

They look pretty good and are relatively afordable but then you could say the same for Axiom cables too.

Blue Jeans interconnects were $26. Even Axiom's are about double that.

Wow! Didn't realize they were that inexpensive.

I bought a pair of these the other day www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F007%5F002%5F003%5F003&product%5Fid=15%2D1001. They are surprisingly stout and well made but a little stiff. I think it's a good value. It's just kind of hard to get past the RS name.

I'm going to make my own speaker cables for the heck of it.

I bought 12gauge copper wire, silver plated, with a teflon cover. I bought 50ft in blue, another 50ft in white and will twist them together.. Cost me $33. Will make two 15ft pairs...and one 10ft pair (a pair in this case meaning two wires), so I will have 10feet leftover. Six pairs of banana plugs was about $24 at PartsExpress. Some shrink wrap..$4. And some TechFlex for all three cables about $23. So about $84 for three speaker cables, $57 if I didn't want them to look good.

I should have everything by Tuesday. I have the wire now....and it is pretty heavy.

Sounds like a fun project. Did you get all the materials from PartsExpress?

the wire came from apexjr.com

The rest came from partsexpress.

Craig, you didn't mention exactly what you needed, but these audio and video interconnects are available in 1 1/2' to 25'.

I think I've got a set of those for dubbing from TiVo to VCR. They seem to work.
