I am certainly not among those that would spend a fortune on audio cables, but there are some basic aspect in every cable or adapter that can make a real difference, even at low prices:
In this case, this is a typical cable adapter/splitter that can convert a single 3.5 mm stereo male jack into 2 standard Left/Right male RCA jacks, and it can be really useful, for instance, to connect a 3.5 mm jack male-male cable to standard RCA connectors.
The typical scenario where this adapter would be needed, for instance, is when you want to use the standard PC audio cables supplied with most audio cards to connect their Line-Out stereo 3.5 mm jack connectors to a standard amplifier, or also to most amplified non-PC speakers, which usually have only RCA Line-IN connectors.
In cases like this, the quality of the adapter is very important to reduce as much as possible the signal loss, and in this case quality is quite evident:
1) The connectors are all gold-plated, for optimal connections, so you should never end up with rotten jacks (very common event with cheap cables...)
2) The adapter is longer than most similar, cheaper ones: approx. 22 cm including the connectors, which is really helpful when you have to connect/disconnect the cables frequently from inaccessible back panels, without having to be Mr. Fantastic or a professional contorsionist...
3) The cables are a little thicker and definitely stronger than the ones you usually find on most cheap cables/connectors, so the wire sections should also have a larger diameter, which is really good for your signals...... Read more ›

The product came today, I was disappointed as I expected (Quote from product information)...
"Technical Details...
Gold terminals ensure long lasting, corrosion-free connections
High quality 26AWG 90% spiral-wrapped copper shielded wire"
The product's pictures also shows gold plated connectors, 1 white and 1 red. I received 1 black and 1 red, NOT gold plated. In fact, I have now found the product that I received, here on amazon cheaper (not sold as gold plated) here is the link if you want to see what you will be buying...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Stereo-Socket-Phono-Plugs/dp/B0009N1MV4/ref=pd_bxgy_ce_img_b
Very unhappy but not really worth returning for £2
I also know that it was not sent in error, after reading reviews in more detail I have found that others have had the same issue.
Hope this saves a few from making the mistake I did,
Regards, Oliver

I was first supprised to see "Free postage" and was a bit suspicious, how could they offer cables so cheaply and with no postage costs either?
Then they arrived a day later.Each was packaged in a plastic bag inside of a jiffy bag with an elastic band round then both.Wow, i thought, all that for two little cables, it would have cost what i paid for them for the packaging alone!
The cables themselves are first rate,i needed them to connect a 10 meter cable from a pc to a tv and the audio output is perfect,so these must work, infact i thought any such connecter would have trouble but these work an absolute charm!
I dont know how you can possibly afford to do it "Cables To Go" but i am sure happy you do, and hope you do for as long as i might possibly need cables for!!!!

Only brought this so i could use headphones on my expensive Samsung HDTV, you think they would remember something like a headphone output :/
anyway it works well, sound quality is awesome, came packaged by Amazon sufficiently, not really anything else to say...
Only way to improve on this product would be to give it away for free.

I am using my digital piano as an MP3 player dock. This neatly plugs into the stereo in on the back of the piano, and gives a socket for a line from the player. Having a female socket cuts out the static you get from a loose male plug.
