For the non believers here is a new site with very affordable cables, Tartan Cables, not sure how good or bad they are, but for that price, and given the BJC reputation among the skeptics!!!

Yes it is related with Blue Jean Cables, as per an email I received today inquiring from Jeff at BJC's, also for more information about "their sister site" just take a look...

 

[tjumper78]

those are some amazing prices....

 

[JustPhilbo]

Yikes!! I can not even DIY cables for those prices. Very nice, and bookmarked for my next cable buy, for sure. But, I will still make most of my own. <wink>

Affirmative on the yikes.

A 50 ft digital cable for less than $10.

Should we get bigshot to do a DBT on these versus RadioShack?

 

[NiceCans]

Nice find for low budget connections. Wish they had some mini-mini stuff (3.5mm)

Time to drop an email, they are "accepting suggestions".....

Thanks. Sent them an e-mail with some questions, kinda a just in case before I buy the cable. Saved me quite a few bucks with this

Well you know where to get me for a gratification....

I will have to ask when I pick up another cable from them. This just looks like a cheap Chinese version of the stuff they sell at BJC. My whole stable is BJC cables. I pick up cables pretty often. There place is cool to check out. Spools of cable everywhere.

I would have to hear these cables. Their rca to rca audio interconnects are made from RG-59 cable, which is 75 ohm tv cable. Real cheap for $5.00usd for 3ft though. The connectors can cost that much easily.

 

[Duggeh]

Tartan Cables eh?

What tartan would that be exactly? ¬ _¬

Yeah... the prices are decent I suppose for your average mass-produced low-cost cables. It's less impressive of a value when you're already familiar with buying cables outside of the usual places. Their HDMI cables are at least over 50% higher than what we pay for the ones we use in installations (I'm only looking at the prices for non-account holders, I forget how much discount we get on top of that). I dunno exactly how much difference there is on the other cables, since I can't find any spreadsheets for those, and all I have is my memory of them being a lot cheaper than this.

Damn! My hope was the jackets would be finished in a nice tartan.

Oh well...
