suggestions for a 110 to 220 step up transformer
Will any old $15 model due ? Seen lots on the web myself . 
Good inexpensive temporary speakers

MOGAMI CABLES W3103
They are pretty good. I assume they do not color the sound ,otherwise studios worldwide would not use them . If you ever go on a pro audio forum everything they talk about is not coloring the sound . You get to hear what they intended for you to h...
