Cary SLI-80 capacitor problem questions
Fpeel - I can't put my hands on the receipts right now but if I recall correctly it was less than $600 to replace all eight capacitors including shipping both ways. The amp is heavy so the shipping isn't insignificant but the repair price was grea... 
OS question re: Beats Music
It's obvious the problem it is not an incompatibility between beatsmusic and any of the available browsers since the OP stated the problem exists on all Web sites, not just beatsmusic. I've run beatsmusic with Firefox for hundreds of hours with no... 
Best upgradable system components for under $6K
To your question about the Moon amps, they're made by Simaudio in Canada and are great products, impeccable build quality, ergonomics and sound. I've owned three of their integrateds and two DACs and they've been among the most satisfying pieces I... 
OS question re: Beats Music
I don't know what the problem is but doubt it's an incompatibility between Beatsmusic and Safari since other web sites are affected, as well. Also, Beatsmusic works fine with all three browsers on my iMac, Safari, Chrome and Firefox.

RUNNING POWERED SPEAKERS FROM AN IMAC
Good, yes, it does seem as if you've isolated the problem to the Radio Shack cable. If you want to be sure that's the issue it might be worth it try a different cable, such as this one. The Monoprice cables are of excellent quality at reasonable p... 
RUNNING POWERED SPEAKERS FROM AN IMAC
I'm stumped by the static issue. I've done setups like yours from several Mac laptops and an iMac and never had an issue with static. When you say the static is "pretty much gone" when you're using the iPad mini it might indicate that the issue is...
