| Help on diy cable construction Thanks to everyone...I've ordered what is needed to make the interconnects. I'm confident they will be just fine. Saved a lot of money and embarrassment... and they'll look great too. Thanks again to all. Be smart, stay safe. We'll get thru this. | |
| Help on diy cable construction Thanks for the input tantejuut. As for Miller, I can handle him. He's a lightweight compared to the action I've seen. Obviously privileged enough to have the money to spend on expensive equipment and the hearing to tell the difference. God bless ... | |
