    Thwey look like good cables at a good price (almost too good) however the delivery charges look a bit steep.

    AS someone that makes cables,. I would go jack-jack. The outer on a phono plgb is very variable in the amount of force it imparts to the socket. I have had good brand's plugs that either barely touch the outer connection of the socket or are so tight you risk damaging the socket or its mounting if you force it. Add the fact the the jack inputs are TRS/Balanced amd it is a no-brainer.

    Just ordered a set. Headline pric £15.99 offered £10 but finally accepted £13.

    The output from a keyboard will handle the smaller cables much better than a passive bass, however the more connections, the less reliable it is. I would go for the two TS/Mono leads.

    The idea is to have a track that covers the whole spectrum mof frequencies/dynamics. However I would not use a Metal track at a Reggae gig.

    As you will have found out if you have tried to use the microphones supplied with, or designed for mobile devices, the electret capsules used have a unidirectional pattern that makes them all but useless for serious recording. The solution is to use a good quality dynamic microphone with a cardioid or hyper-cardioid polar response. Sadly mobile devices such as iPhones*, Android phones, iPads* and other tablets do not recognise dynamic microphones and continue to use the internal mic, even when the correct cables and connectors are used. The cable is more than a just a cable. It includesl the electronics needed to switch the mobile device to external microphone, allowing any dynamic mic such as \SM58 to be used with almost any mobile device. The 4 way connector is dificult to get from respected manufacturers and so quality ones are expensive. However Sommer now do one in their Hicon range. *The latest iphones and ipads may not have a headpohe spocket bt are supplied with a 3.5mm to lightning cable that will work with this lead. The first picture is of the prototype lead that has been tested for over a year. the second shows the Sommer Hicon connector. Please ask if you have any questions

    In my early years I tested TV studio monitors. one of the adjustments was near the line ouitput transformer. The LOPT (pronounced loptee) had a 1500V RF spike on it and, if you slipped, you had a nice little shock and a little hole in your finger. At least it was self quaterizing. Now I must get on with the Combo.

    @agedhorse is correct on most counst as usual. Fans are a necessary evil if you want a lightweight amp or to get the most from a ligtweight Class D power module. I cannot remember where I saw it but I am sure I read that a heatsink can be 1/4 the size if fan cooled. Be aware though that fab cooling does rely, to some extent, on tutbulent air within the heatsink fins and that can cause noise. The best idea is for a fan to turn on at a predetermine temperature, one that is only reached at gigging volumes.

    Have to agree with Aja but would add most of Sade's Diamond Life album.

    I am wondering if this is of interest to anyone else? I helped set up the match day commentaries for Poole Town FC and in the process developed a cable that enabled dynamic microphones to be used with mobile phones and tablets. As you will have found out if you have tried to use the microphones supplied with, or designed for mobile devices, the electret capsules used have a unidirectional pattern that makes them all but useless for serious recording. The solution is to use a good quality dynamic microphone with a cardioid or hyper-cardioid polar response.

The cable is more than a just a cable. It includes all the electronics needed to switch the mobile device to external microphone allowing any dynamic mic such as to be used with almost any mobile device. Above is the original. The cost would be in the region of £20-25, mainly becuse quality 3.5mm 4 way connectors are expensive.

    No, the voltage will remain the same but the current will increase into a lower impedance load. This assumes that the power supply is large enough (electrically not physically).

    The Bugera Veyrons have one and it is footswitchable (made up word)

    This is made from three metres of Sommer Triclone XXl, a very high quality cable plus your choice of connectors. you can have Neutrik NP2X (Straight ) or NP2RX (right angled) jack plugs. Alternately choose two straight Tricone XXL Jack Plugs ( HI-J63TC-SM) specially designed for use with this cable. They include a metal clamping system that grips the cable firmly over a large area. This ensures that no matter what the weight/load put upon the cable the connector stays frimly on the cable. Other lengths are available as well as other connectors. PM me for details.

    I have cancelled the ebay order.

    Are you sure?

    Bugger just sold them on evil bay.

    It took me a while to get the joke. I was dazzled by the glass transistors behind the bass.

    This is a cable made from NOS. New old stock that has been lying around unused. It uses genuine Neutrik Swiss Made SPEAKONs with a twist lock. Sadly they are discontinued as they are great for my old fingers. The cable is 2.5mm squared Trusound speaker cable, made in the USA for UK company FS Cables and is as good as the best German makes. At this length the cable is good for well over 2000 watts continuous and is ideal for connecting a bass cab to a head. I have a few more of these connectors and various lengths of cable.

    It’s strange but I have never got on with Fender flats either before or after they were made by D’ Addario. I might give the Dunlop’s a try although I was not impressed with their acoustic guitar strings.

    Chris sold me a speaker and was so easy to deal with. I wish he woukld open a music shop.
