jonathan posted:I was on hometheatershack.com the other day which has a good DIY community on there who build some good stuff. They also charge a ton for shipping. I ordered 10 feet of cable and a couple connectors, which would fit into a small padded envelope, and it ended up being $20 for the stuff and $28 in shipping to BC. If you're looking for a partsexpress for Canada, try Digikey. Newark, and Mouser. Expensive shipping, but loads of stuff to pick from.

I wonder what happened to patrick82 and the insanity surrounding him (namely, ERS paper and the nordost valhalla cable)

One time, I bought a Virtual Dynamics cable. And cable feet.

It was on head-fi, and it was a Virtual Dynamics cable. His dog chewed through it, and it was just cheap electrical wire and filled with metal filings. The best part about that thread wasn't the cable though, it was the Virtual Dynamics rep (audio chef or accoustic chef or something chef) defending it, the VD fans defending it, and everyone else calling it a piece of poo poo. I want to say it's from 2005 or so, but I don't remember. It was before the whole coathangers as cables thing existed.

Don't you guys see where you are going wrong a power cable isn't the last 3 feet in your system after 50 miles of that untreated copper cable from the power station (it probably even has lots of oxygen in it), it's the first 3 feet towards an unbelievable listening experience. Something something wider soundstage, better imaging, blacker blacks, more musicality, and tighter bass.

My favorite are the "Power cable roundup" reviews that pit 5+ cables against each other, with the reviewer describing the characteristics

Loudspeakers: $58,500 Analog: $37,995 Digital: $74,998 Electronics: $104,000 Things that actually make a difference: $275,493 Racks: $45,710 Cables: $227,280 Things that don't make a difference: $272,990 Yup, he spent almost as much on cables and racks as on audio gear.

Why do all 3-position audio switches always go: 1 3 2 even though it's not like the wiring is backwards, they actually go out of their way to not 1-2-3 it. why, though

taqueso posted:There are lots of procurement issues with fancy screens if you aren't a huge buyer, usually you can only get the left overs with no guarantee of being able to buy more later (then you get to do a redesign!). Moving to a high-res display also adds bunch of new graphics/UI work and you need a beefy uC to be able to move those pixels around. Might as well put Android on it... and then you are flying down the rabbit hole.. Solution is simple and obvious. Re-release it with the new screen as a new improved edition, charge more, talk about how much better the electronics are. When your screen supply runs out, repeat. Then talk about exclusivity.
