Steren cables review
September 24, 2009
Are all HDMI cable made the same ? Can a cable really make a difference to the video or audio quality ?
One of the joys of digital transmission was that cables should not affect video or audio quality whatsoever. What you should look for is a well priced, well made quality cable.
Cables with premium prices make little difference to the video or audio quality with digital transmission as I’ve found.
Check out the Steren cables. They have a range of well made cables for all your audio/video needs at a good price.
HDMI cables aren’t the most resilient connectors in the cable worls so you want something that is well made, that won’t be knocked easily.
These guys not only have HDMI-HDMI cables, but they also have DVI-HDMI cables, USB cables, other analogue video/audio cables, couplers, gold-plated connectors and more.
For all your cable needs it really is a place to find exactly what you neecd.
When it comes to the analogue cables, it really does make a noticeable difference using a better quality cable for your video or audio quality far more so than digital.
You can also find connector wall plates to keep thing tidy, if you don’t want to see masses of cables all around your house.
I have a few of the wall plates around my place, with cables neatly hidden behind the wall around the place.
It is really work the initial hassle of doing this

Right-wing ‘lies’ force Obama adviser out
September 14, 2009
The White House environmental adviser Van Jones, a towering figure in the environmental movement, has resigned after weeks of controversy stemming from his past activism.
”On the eve of historic fights for health-care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me,” Mr Jones, the special adviser for green jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, said in a statement announcing his resignation just after midnight on Saturday. ”They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide.”
He continued: ”I have been inundated with calls – from across the political spectrum – urging me to ‘stay and fight’. But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.”
Mr Jones issued two public apologies in recent days, one for signing a petition that questioned whether Bush administration officials ”may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war” and the other for using a crude term to describe Republicans in a speech he gave before joining the Administration.
A Republican Congressman, Mike Pence, called on Mr Jones to resign on Friday, saying in a statement: ”His extremist views and coarse rhetoric have no place in this administration or the public debate.” Senator Christopher Bond wrote in an open letter: ”Can the American people trust a senior White House official that is so cavalier in his association with such radical and repugnant sentiments?”
The White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, said on Friday that Mr Jones ”continues to work for the Administration” – but he did not state that the adviser enjoyed the full support of President Barack Obama.
Mr Jones had worked for the White House Council on Environmental Quality since March. He was a civil-rights activist before turning his focus to environmental and energy issues.
