    little trick with Canare Starquad & techflex

    I was finding the starquad a little bulky for headphone cable. So I cut out the plastic layer of the cable. By putting black techflex on top of the metal sleeving, it will give a shimmering look to the techflex which look quite nice. I tried to take a picture, but my canon a70 is not doing it...

    E-mu 1820 question

    I tried to look at the spec on the homepage, but the descriptions are too technical for me. I am wondering if the breakout box has a pre-amp function for electric guitar so I can just plug the guitar directly at it? Also, can the breakout box be used as a pre-amp for my speakers? Finally...

    Von Schweikert VR-1 first impression: WOW!

    These VR-1 are really an impulse buy, but boy did I make a great decision! I think I've found THE bookshelf speakers. Comment on the build quality: The African hazelwood finish looks far more attractive than it's being shown in Von Scheweikert's homepage. There's a glossy touch to it. If...

    B&W DM602 s3 owners, worth upgrading from dm601 s3?

    Hi, saw an used ad from Audiogon for the DM602 S3. I will be paying ~$120 to go from dm601 s3 to dm602 s3 after I sell the dm601. Will the difference be worth it? I really like the sound of the dm601, but my shiva 12" sub is kind of overpowering the speakers. I am hoping the larger woofers in...

    I need a <10" Subwoofer, any recommendation?

    I just got a MTX 12" subwoofer from CircuitCity to see if a subwoofer will make my setup sound fully. It definitely did, but I am really unimpressed with sound the subwoofer. The bass lags like 1/4 seconds behind. Also, it is a little too big for my application I think.... So I am pretty sure I...

    A description of the shipping of my forthcoming speakers

    The speakers will be put in bags and then in a shipping carton with styrofoam packing pellets to protect them Do you guys think that would be sufficient for shipping a pair of speakers from CA to WA? Or should I pony a few bucks for the buyer to get better packaging?
