Can cables be repaired?
I've got a toxic poison silver cable and it was serving me well for years until I got a pet kitten and it loves to chew, and managed to chew through the thin cross linked wires after it bifurcates to Left and Right. Is there a way to personally fix it with the right soldering / shrink wrap etc...- boirefish

A good electronics forum for selling stuff like the new ipad?
Sorry for the double post - it was in comment to the ipad thread, and then I realised it might be better here. Anyone know where I could sell my 16gb ipad 3 4g, without going through the ridiculous $50 ebay fees? I have a unit, but people in Australia don't seem to be interested whatsoever...- boirefish

is something in my system broken?
as i'm listening to my headphones plugged from toshiba via usb to dac/amp to headphones, I noticed the music was often disrupted by a static-ey burst, like the sound you get when you plug your headphones in or take them out and the volume is on, however much fainter. I unplugged my DAC/amp and...- boirefish

Using non-audiophile headphones a sin?
I'm addicted to this forum, even though I'm really new to the whole audiophile concept. I love music, and some of my friends do too, but most survive on $20 earbuds whilst appreciating my interest in a polite way. I really want to take the plunge into Audiophilia. At the moment I'm using some...- boirefish
