Have your say & ask the experts

Light relief for the weekend, counting cables. I have;

2 x mains extensions, 3 x mains cables (one of which is about 3" long between PSU and DAC), 2 x PSUs, 2 x interconnects, 1 x USB, 2 x headphone cables. Total 12. All are in use, I am not counting other bits and pieces in my small stash. Add the TV etc and that is another 4 mains cables and 2 scarts.

There is no way anyone else will have more than me

2 mains extensions, 7 mains cables, 4 interconnects, 3 MS-Bus = 16 (not to mention the speaker cables) - but then I'm a Cyrus nut. Obsessive Cyrus nuts might go over the 30 mark!

Ok here goes...

1x Mains Extension (5x sockets), 6x Mains cables (3x standard ones, 3x IXOS branded for amps), 1x DC Wallwart / transformer for DACMagic 2, 1x Chord Optichord (Mac > DAC), 1x Bundled TosLINK cable from a soundcard (Sky+ > Mac), 1x QED Reference RCA-RCA interconnects (awaiting second pair), 1x Bundled RCA-RCA interconnects, to be replaced with second pair of QED Reference, 1x IXOS 3.5mm > RCA interconnect, 1x Firewire, 1x Headphone cable.

All of which are in use*, so with a total of 15. Ah the joys of a computer based system! 

That's excluding the video cable for the Apple display and the USB iPhone/dock cable.

* Well will be again shortly due to decorating the room.

fast eddie:

life must be really dull today!

Having tried to be deep and meaningful over the past couple of weekends, but it all went horribly wrong (arguments, misunderstandings, threads locked, you know the kind of thing), this weekend is simple and noncontroversial. Anyway real men like lists and seeing who has the longest..............
