[Tech1] Hi fi Cables

[Bernard Newnham]

I love the reviews "This changed my whole life and now women fall at my
feet" .   Replugging the connectors may have helped a lot.

A while back Virgin came here testing their cables. Apparently duff
connections in houses screw up the bandwidth of the system that runs from
the green box. They replaced several parts of ours and ran continuous cable
through the connectors into the house. Done for free in two separate visits.
