      Cable Help (Jack to RCA)
      May 03, 2010 05:17:12 pm
      Just managed to put back together a Hi-Fi stereo that was up in the loft for a long while.

      Works perfectly fine - it always did - it's a decent stereo, it was just never used.

      Want to play my iPod through it though. There are the slots in the back that would allow for this, however I don't have the required cable at the moment.

      Been looking on Amazon, but I can't decide whether to get a cheap one or pay a bit more. Would the sound difference be very noticeable?

      For example:

      I could get a Belkin one for around £5

      http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-3-5mm-RCA-Audio-Adapter/dp/B000CI4VJQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=diy&qid=1272898996&sr=8-3

      Or I could get one for £1.50

      http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Phono-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000Q6LSVS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1272898996&sr=8-2

      Anybody knowledgeable in this area? Would be able to tell me which I should go for?

      Try Solent Cables. They can often make up cables and are way cheaper than the usual retail outlets. I have bought a few different types and they are good.

      They seem to know what they are talking about too

      Thanks for the reply mate.

      Went out today though to Comet and got a Philips one. Fantastic quality.

      Should have got one of these (saw one for £6 somewhere).

      http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cable-Player-Video-Shuffle-Styles/dp/B000ILZ77M

      Gives you the option of watching video on your TV as well as the old audio thing.
