| How to Remove MONSTER CD rings without damage they don't peel off. they also won't hurt the performance of the disc. you shouldn't worry about it at this point. if it is a big concern, replace the discs. i still have discs with them on, and they do help stabilize the disc, which i assume tran... | |
| Smooth Jazz Freak needs New Artists sadly, smooth jazz artists are now as interchangable as pop artists. they are all products of the record company. basically a commodity, not a real group or solo act. it's a shame, because there are so many talented musicians that are forced to pl... | |
| ANTI-CABLES by Paul Speltz: Anyone Using Them? drubin,sorry, i did miss that fact in my post. a reasonable premium, perhaps, but crimp on spades will set you back less than $10 for 4, and the wire and heat shrink are dirt cheap as well. for about 15 minutes of effort you can still save a bundl... | |
| Anti-cables vs CC89259 muralman1,speltz says it is a red enamel coating, nothing more. most of the enamel coatings are the same, but they do come in different colors. that's really all you need to look for.steve | |
| Anti-cables vs CC89259 armstrod, if you have anyplace local that repairs electric motors, go there first. they should have an abundance of magnet wire in any guage you want, and will probably sell you as much as you want pretty cheaply. if you have no luck, email me and... | |
| Anti-cables vs CC89259 i'm still at a loss as to why people are paying $10 per foot for 12 guage magnet wire that retails for about $3-4 per pound. a 10 foot pair costing $200 is about 10x what you would pay for an entire spool of this stuff, which has 100 feet or bette... | |

| Wich high end CD palyer? markups in general are extremely high. rule of thumb is the production cost is about 20% of the retail cost. a dealer marks up a product 100% from their wholesale cost. when they advertise a 20-50% off sale, there is still a good profit to be made... | |
| Wich high end CD palyer? ccreda:sorry about the $40k analogy--it was a generalization, not directed specifically at you. i just think the markup on electronics is way too high, and resale values tend to prove me right in general. yes, there are some really excellent recor... | |
