I underestimated my latest project (oops) and I have two 25' runs of QuadStar 4S8. This is 13 gauge(4x16) and perfect for bi-wire applications.
See http://www.canare.com/
Highly recommended.
I paid $0.35/foot plus shipping and a $7.50 cut charge. I'll sell it for $17.50 ($0.35/foot)but I...
Does anyone out there have a Canare die for the RG-6? I'm planning on using the RCAP-C5F connectors with the L5-CFB cable. I figured someone out there made some DIY cables and would like to recoup part of the cost of the die and tools... Neil
In a pretty old post I read that someone found the Ideal Industries crimper #30-593 worked for Canare products (V3-4CFB cable with RCAP-C5F connectors). Can anyone verify this? I really would like to make some of my own cables but the cost is pretty high for the tools... Thanks, Neil
How does the 12 volt trigger on audio equipment work? When my receiver is turned on does it output a constant 12 volts to my amplifier to signaling for it to be on? Then when I turn the receiver off the 12 volts are then shut off? I am making a component rack that fits under my stairs. There...
For a new HT layout I'm planning on placing my equipment across the room from the TV. This will mean a run of about 15' for my video cables and I need to run them under the house and then up the wall. I'm planning on making my own (probably Belden 1694a) but here is my question...
It makes...
Ok, someone needs to settle a bet...
I did a search, both on the board and on the net, and could not find the answer (I suppose I could cruise the IMDB and compare release dates but I figured someone here must know!).
What was the first PG-13 movie? My friend says Young Sherlock Holmes but...
$250 + shipping. If you live in the Portland, OR area or decide to get it before Sunday (short notice, I know) I can deliver it to the Seattle area on Sunday. In a way, I'd rather sell it locally and not have to deal with the USPS.
Note that this unit was not activated with the lifetime plan...
Hello.. this is for anyone who has owned Mirage Msi speakers.
Due to an unfortunate accident involving a candle above the left speaker, I need to remove the sock from my M7si speaker and clean it. I can get the bottom base off the speaker and untie the bottom portion of the sock but I can't...
I have found someone selling a used Tivo (Phillips 14 hour) for $50. He said that he used it for quite a while until he upgraded to a 30 hour unit and it has been sitting in his closet until now when he decided to get rid of it. Is there anything I should watch out for when buying a used unit...
Ok :)
The nice folks at Have Inc sent me a 1' sample of 1694a so I could see if it would be what I wanted. I want to use this for both speaker wire and interconnects.
When I stripped the cable, the first thing I noticed was the construction:
16 gauge copper core
Teflon insulator
Aluminum...
I have a thought... (Yes it took some effort and I still have a headache).
I'm planning on making some speaker cable and interconnects using Belden 1694A. I have a friend who would like to do the same and noticed that you get quite a bit of a price break buying entire spools (500' or more)...
I have been following the DIY cable thread that has been going on... I have no experience to DIY cables but I think is is a good opportunity for me because I'm needing both interconnects and speaker cables (for bi-amp of my Energy C6's).
I see that people are using Belken 89259 or 1506a for...
I swear... You'd think this thing could cure all know diseases AND cook dinner based on the reactions of people who own them...
If I were to purchase one, what would you people recommend? How many hours? I don't have satellite so it would be a stand alone. Should I get the cheap one and then...
From my initial research it looks like the two players are very similar with the exception of Tivo costs about $10/month (or $200 lifetime) and ReplayTV is free monthly. Both have 'updating' via a phone line and it seems the options are very similar...
I would really like to get one of these...
