Lightspeed attenuator lithium battery pack

I'm going to pick up a lightspeed attenuator but am not certain which 12vdc lithium battery packs on e-bay have 2.5 mm, center positive, plugs. They aren't listed anywhere and I can't figure out how to contact the sellers to ask them. Can you guys help me with this? I'd like to keep it as inexpensive as possible ($20?) and I do want battery vs. wal wart.

Also, what do you think is going to be the best 3 foot rca's under $50? I am thinking signal cable analogue 2's because they have a low capacitance and are $50 a pair. What do you guys think?

Thanks!

Hi Bruce, just to correct your opening post, to fit the Lightspeed Attenuator the plug has to be 2.1mm (not 2.5) and centre +positive. You have to ask the ebay sellers but most are 2.1mm and + centre but ask just to make sure.

Blue Jeans cables are 12 pf/foot I think. The only ones lower that I've seen were WyWires, but they way out of your listed price range.

By the way, Blue Jeans are $31 for three feet.

how many hours of listening do you end up getting with the 3800mah battery?

do you notice difference in sound?

Probably varies but at least a week. I have tried both battery and linear power supply and while I will acknowledge there is a difference it is quite small and I really cannot say with certainty what that difference is.
