Be sure the wire makes solid contact with the connector.2) Let the joint melt the solder, not the iron. This will help you prevent cold solder joints.3) Most importantly, practice a bu... | |
| Has any heard of rawshipping.com? I find it interesting that they headquarter in London, have offices in Australia and the domain admin registered under a residential address in Florida (with a European phone number.) The tech contact also uses a residential address in the U.S (Ca... | |

| Best CD lens cleaner A cheap can of compressed air from Office Depot or a photographers lens cleaning brush. I don't subscribe to the 'stiff little brush glued to a CD blank' school of cleaning.There's something about a chunk of plastic banging against my laser assemb... | |

| Which amp ? ... The Aragon I have not heard, but it's reputation precedes it.The Theshold is a very decent amplifier, but I remember it as being a bit weak-kneed in the bottom most octaves. Threshold does offer the option to upgrade the T200 to the latest STASIS ... | |
