I think he means a cable. The standard computer audio cable - 3.5 mm
stereo jack to two phono plugs. Either splice into it, or get a
couple of back-to-back phono connectors and extend with a normal phono
lead.

You can buy these with line sockets rather than plugs - saves on adaptors.

NZ47 from Maplin.


I'd also mention that you can buy phono extension leads from B&Q at
reasonable prices (probably cheaper than I could make them). My computer
in the study is the other side of the room from the Hifi so I use their
5m extension leads.

Cheers.

I wish someone would make a serious-ish amp with a 'usb-in' socket, so the
computer recognises it as normal, plug n play, digital speakers, bypassing
a soundcard altogether. I suppose that won't happen until the stigma of pc
audio is gotten over.

Plenty of people make audio to usb interfaces. M-Audio, Edirol and
Tascam are three manufacturers that I can think of.

The Edirol ones seem to be well thought of ... I know several people
using these in conjunction w/ a laptop (and some seriously expensive
mics) to record concerts ...
