I have this gift card and theres no electronic shops at the mall I have to spend it in

All it has is radio shack and sears. Does any one know of anything slightly interesting an audiophile could buy at these stores ?

    An SPL meter at Radio Shack. You could always get tools at Sears. Can't have too many tools around

    Very useful tool for replacing those I-Phone Torx screws with the new security screws. Have to torque them jussssssst right, or your phone will drop from 4G to 3G.

    Oh, you're an audiophile?
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    Got mine at Autozone and it works like a charm when I need it.

    I'll heed your advice though when I pick a better one up. I just need something that measures a bit lower than what mine does.

    If PFB's buying it for me though, I'm not gonna complain! :tongue:

    15 in./lb?!

    What the heck are you playing with, tiny fisher price screws? :eek:

    I kid, but that's something you could do with your bare hand.

    ^^ LOL
    Well, since there is no way of getting any real audio stuff and if you don't want tools, then maybe you should just buy clothes? </boring>
