Prices updated.

Bump and price drop: I will sell both the unit together with the breakout cable for $100.

Bump and update: XLO interconnects have sold

Since posting this, I've dug around a bit more, and it seems the Paladin frame and crimp set do work well if you adjust them properly. so I will probably go this route. I will spring for the expensive canare stripper, though. Everybody seems to rave about it. Thanks.

Hello, I'm getting into building my own component cables and can't find a straight answer on this, so I figure I'll ask here: Can I use the parts express or paladin crimpers with the Canare ends and get a good result? Aside from the cost aspect, I like the fact I can get other kinds of...

For Sale, RCA DTC-100 HDTV receiver. Tunes directv (activation and your own card required) or HDTV signals from a local antenna. I used it mostly for the latter, even after cancelling directv. Sturdy heavy unit in excellent condition. Asking $60 + shipping. Also available is a Better...

I finally decided to sell off a lot of my old cables that were just collecting dust (or ones that are too short for the new theater). PM or e-mail me if intereseted. Paypal accepted. Added: Audioquest Sidewinder 0.5m audio interconnect. Asking $20. Monster component video cable. Measures...

Hello, I searched, but did not find an answer so here goes: Does anyone have a link or supplier who can supply decorative speaker/grill cloth? I'm building some panel absorbers and bass traps and would like to cover them in something other than the standard black or white cloth. I'd...

Thanks for the inputs. The actual curve stays down, only coming up to about 71dB at 85Hz and staying relatively flat up to 100 or so and then dropping off rather rapidly (and staying below the noise floor at 120Hz). As for the mains, I have not tested them, just set the levels with...

It's a dedicated HT / bar room, but space is an issue. Sub's in one corner, the other is where the DVD rack is, gear is up front. I was considering a ceiling baffle, but the riser to ceiling height is only 81" and I have friends who are 72" who wouldn't like to hit their heads :) Plus, I...

Just curious as to your all's recommendations of how to tune this room: http://www.geocities.com/acurtas/ht/base_layout.html It used to have a shoddily built riser (I should beat up the carpenter, but that would make me a masochist :) ) that was acting as a pretty good panel resonator...

DiY NHT 1259 sub I made a few years ago. Mostly MDF (baffle and rear are birch due to some cutting mistakes DOH!). Braced like hell too, thing weighs more than 100 pounds. Sealed design; nearfield measures flat from about 27 Hz through 100 or so. Driven by an NHT SA-2 sub amplifier. 130W into...

Thicker is definitely better. If I had this to do over, I'd go with actual high quality subfloor (tongue 'n' groove) with maybe an mdf or regular plywood sheet on top. Roofing felt between the layers would help with damping. Also, if this were a truly permanent installation (I only plan to be...

Well, the problem is fixed, a bit . . . http://www.geocities.com/acurtas/ht/base_layout.html I stiffened up the couch riser in the back, which was acting as a frequency damper (see chart at bottom of page). I added support joists and stuffed it with insulation to the brim. Then I added...

Eh, it's not that bad. 3 plywood panels are all that has to come off. The carpet is taped with a few staples. Plus, one of the plywood seams is not directly on a joist and I want to fix that and prewire for the bass shakers. So as long as I'm knocking out multiple projects . . . :) I'm...

That's my problem, I cheaped out and didn't get the extra layer or enough insulation to fill it up. When I built it, it was the last piece of the HT upgrade, which was already $200 over budget from extra paint, moulding, supplies, etc (this was just painting and construction, no gear in this...

I have threads going on HTT, AudioAsylum, and others, but I think I have the problem narrowed down and want your all's opinion. Last summer I built a riser for my HT. You can see it here: http://www.geocities.com/acurtas/ht/base_layout.html Recently, while tuning my subwoofer, I found a...

I keep trying to sign up for this, but the website has an internal server error and the phone always rings busy. I guess this is a good deal :) Anthony

Sorry, it sold this weekend locally. Anthony
