Guess what. Im saying bye to my system. I simply dont have room for it anymore :'( Replacing with an ipod dock. Not entirely comparable but thats that.
Times change, the hobbey will always remain until I finish (and start) uni, followed by getting my own place
I know I know. Its a drastic move. It'll be missed. Although i dont blame Kano lmao.
Klipsch Igroove I think will be the substitute. Was looking at the Athena Ivoice and Mirage Omnivibe too but think I'll go klipsch. Connect my emu 0404 card to that and use onboard sound with my cheapo creative headphones which actually are pretty good believe it or not.
Perhaps at uni I'm thinking this..
Super t-amp with 2 Klipsch RSX 3/4/5s since they're easy to drive.
Bare wire is excellent. However, it is subject to environmental factors and over time may tarnish in appearance. I have yet to detect performance deterioration even with bare wire that has discolored over the years. But I have not put the meter to it.
Stryvn, check your paperwork and see if an annual service is included from the man or the dealer. If you break it while cleaning, then you would be SOL if you admit it, I suppose. So long as I am not hamfisted, damage is unlikely.
Colin Powell's "pottery barn" rule applies. You break it, it's yours. (Too bad more people didn't listen to him before he sold out with that debacle at the UN). Retailer and manufacturer are off the hook. If you wash your car and scratch it in the process, you can't expect the dealer to take the blame or to repair at no cost.
Then again, how much danger is there in applying de-oxit to the posts and I/C's with a little brush and snipping back wires? See ham-fisted above. I take the covers off, yes, so as to clean the animal fuzz from the internal sinks and such, with some other stuff that I understand. Not time to learn on your good stuff, just remove the nasties. Kitty, Kitty.
