I have not had time to do so in a long while, but Texas Instruments is just north of me, and they have a surplus department, where items are for sale. A few years ago, I found a roll of Belden 5881 precision video cable, that was basically untouched ( plastic wrap still on it ). The roll was 1000 feet, and sold by the POUND! I think the total was about $38.00. That same cable, made up in one meter lengths, with decent RCA plugs, would sell for a retail price of over $7000.00 if the seller ask only $24.95 for the completed product. I agree Elizabeth, it would be nice if this could work. First we have to see if there are objections with the folks at Audiogon. Obviously, they would have to be held harmless in any transactions, as they have no control over the way people would conduct themselves in such a venture.
Group buy/share spools Belden wire 4 PCs
I am in another forum that often does "group buys" of stuff that's either hard to get or can be had at a BIG discount in bulk. I have read the things on "make your own power cords" and wonder if any have purchased spools of the 'special' # Belden wires recommended for home built cables?? and if they want to sell some of the remainder? or if others want to do some sort of group purchase? of spools? (and is this "ok" with the webmaster? as all of the sales I've seen are of commercial products and really no trading sort of stuff).
Also of the plugs? I've seen and ordered some of the Wattgate 320, but on a regular USA 3 prong that's a medium quality??? can't find.
The gold plated ones yes for $88... too expensive for me, but the usual $5 to $9 stuff is too cheap! Any sites to order some good plugs around $20 to $30?? with individual screwdown openings like on the Wattgate 320 IEC but for a regular grounded plug? And If anyone knows any sites to order the various Belden wires either in bulk or by the foot Please mention them! Thanks
