nice to see my thread still around

nice to see this thread is still going

if you take the cable that has the 4 wires in it that you are using: remove the covering (just enough for make the split, usually 4" works good for me, you might want more or less) to expose all 4 wires wires, then split those 4 wires into 2 pairs, after you do that you can recover the wires...

sorta anyway. went to lowes the other day, picked up a bunch of THHN 14g wire, just ordered a bunch of techflex as well, already have heatshrink, not going to use banana plugs, they will actually cost more than wire + techflex, and won't benefit me any other than looks. here is my question...

while i suppose that is a concern, i could care less about that, i just want to protect the front from scratches

what the heck are comply tips?

maybe i will pick up a pair of the e2c's at best buy and try them out, if i don't like them i can just return them easier than somewhere online (even though returning at best buy is a hassle)

cost is part of the concern, we are trying to pay for our wedding this fall... also, they will be strictly for portable duty, which usually is just walking to class, working around the apartment, otherwise i don't really use it much. but the Vision:M is incredible, i heard a 5G ipod and it...

been out of the headphone game for a while, PX200's are starting to annoy me now, want something smaller and easy to conceal. did some reading, but can't figure out if they are supposed to be amped or not. so what i am thinking is one of these: UM1 E2C ER6i I will be using them...

I got a BSE today, went one beautifully, Vision is still very shiny, i love it much more than the temporary 3M stuff i put on (that you use on cars for invisible bras) I also used a rubber squegee to put it on because i had one for the 3M stuff can't even tell the skin is on there unless you...

well installed a wire today inbetween the chassis and the board ground, buzzing is now gone. thanks a lot guys, not sure why this wasn't an issue until 2 years after i built the amp though.....

bump, does this mean i need to check into the ground between board and chassis?

pictures in first post aren't good enough?

ok, between the chassis and the board ground i am getting OL, so no conductivity. hmm
