    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...

    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...

    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...

    Exhausted from getting nowhere with the matrix mini

    After looking around for days, checking out all of the reviews of amps, dac's and amp/dac combos, I have to say I'm completely confused. I have a pair of unmodified dt880 600ohm's.   Amidst all of this confusion, I decided to just shoot and buy a matrix mini i used from the FS, and understand...

    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...
