It's a big TV, (wide and deep) but the picture is beautiful. It's available in either 60" or 70" sizes. More expensive than the Mits but clearly... | |

| Best RCA female output connector.....a CD player ? Sean, I'm surprised that you would summarily dismiss a product you have never used. The Bullet Plugs are the real deal, I've replaced more "robust" (and expensive) plugs and in each case noticed an improvement. For me the robust quality of the big... | |

| General DIY Soldering Questions Mmmmmmm, RadioSnacks. Marakanetz I agree with you about the cheap irons. With the better equipment you also get a bigger variety of tips and accessories. Thanks for the informative post Sean. | |
| General DIY Soldering Questions I use a 30W Weller iron and Cardas solder. Being able to solder opens up a world of possibilities for modding equipment. I've done capacitor and clock upgrades to my DVD player and replaced caps and resistors in my speakers among other things. Thi... | |
| Is it taboo to mod a speaker? I replaced all the resistors in in my Dunlavy SC-III's with Mills and removed the all the quick-connects on the crossover and soldered the internal wires directly to the PCB. Last week I replaced all but one of the Solen capacitors with Auricaps, ... |
