small_lump_of_green_putty Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 We've got loads of these kicking around our IT department. Each new PC comes with a set of leads and they never take them away with the old PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'm looking for an all original '64 kettle lead. Failing that, a 'kitchen closet classic' or a relic on a modern Maplin job. Do you have any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These cables might firm up the mid-bass and extend the soundstage in four dimensions, bringing an engaging immediacy to the tenor panpipe on Guns and Roses' version of Puppy Love and adding a spicy aftertaste to female vocals in 5/4 time, but would have naff all stabilising effect on a dodgy supply. You'd need one of my plutonium-free pre-oxidised cables for that. Available from my sole retail agent, www.waynepunkdude.com. $440, best price-weight ratio on the web.

Shaggy Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Our sound guy hates us calling them kettle leads, uses some Euro-technical term that I can never remember. So I call them kettle leads and he gets upset again . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
