I found them quite easily. Of course I'm shopping from the US, a country that aggressively uses trade alliances to benefit its citizens with low costs for high tech gear. Jabs aside I checked the situation in the UK out and found that some of the same suppliers I use do business in the UK with a pricing structure that is not dissimilar from the US. I find that some audiophiles say that they believe that there is a necessary correlation between price and quality, and that low cost products can't possibly sound any good. For them, buying overpriced audio gear is something that they brag about. It shows their devotion to audio as denominated what they understand best, not technology but aggressive spending. > > Mainly construction quality and whether the plugs are so tight they rip > the sleeves off my RCA sockets, that sort of thing. > It is possible that the RCA jacks in question are poorly made, or are being abused during set up. > > The UK is not awash with good priced electrical stores. That's one approach to keeping consumer prices artificially high. Another approach is to abandon functioning trade alliances, just to mention a hypothetical situation... ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105775
