Dixons....grrrrrrrrr!
 

Popped in today for a couple of leads, 3.5mm stereo jack to twiin RCA plugs, as the lads both wanted one each to play stuff stored on their MP3 players through their stereos.

I already have one, a JVC, bought from Dixons for £5.99 about a year ago, I use it to play stuff off a portable minidisc player.

Imagine my shock when the Dixons guy tells me they no longer stock JVC, but some other make, (I forget what), because it's better...........and the price? £14.99:eek:

I went up the road and bought TWO for £7.98 at a local hi-fi type shop, Vivanco make.

Dixons really are robbers.

Alcazar

their price for scart leads is worse :eek:

I found one in my cupboard.

The cable caught the attention of my bird and mate who then wanted one. I gave the lead to my GF and told my friend that he could probably pick one up from an electrical shop.

Cost him £12.00!!!!!!! From Currys I think.

Funny thing is his stereo which was an xmas present doesn't have an auxillary output:lol1:. He can't return it either as the packaging needed to be cut open.

£4.88 for a high quality one from here http://www.cableuniverse.co.uk/catal...roducts_id=587

Also worth trying is http://www.cutpricecables.co.uk/ - I bought a high quality s-video cable from them for £4.99 last week (against £20 or so from Dixons and the like).
