Thanks...it's quite fascinating.

Okay, this is helpful. As I'm primarily interested only in audio at the
moment,
can you give me some approximate pricing for RCA Jacks (and Pounds is
acceptable...I can convert).

No problem...what power is required?...is it something reasonable like
9v DC?

Finally, at the risk of pointing me to a competitor, do you know of other
suppliers of similar gear here in the US (accepting that it will likely be
more
expensive, even without the currency conversion)?
Thanks,
