Best type of solder for audio quality
I've been using either Cardas Quad or Kester 60/40 for quite a while. Both flow nice and smooth even though Cardas does need a little more heat but it's not a big deal.- melen1717

Looking for Speaker Switch with RCA jacks ...
Looking for a "speaker switch" with RCA jacks for 2 to 4 set of speakers. All I have seen are switches but for wire and no RCA jacks. Some are just ridiculously expensive as well.- melen1717

[ Active Speakers ] ---> Best Under ~$250?
I must say that for the budget minded and searching for "best bang for the buck" you can't go wrong with Cyber Acoustics CA-3602 30 watts powered 2.1 system. The sound & built quality is actually very good and it will surprise many considering it's $39.95 price. NO, it's not a misprint... $39.95...- melen1717

What computer speakers to get?
I would guess that your budget should be $250 to $300 (the Swans are $300) and at that price range there are quite a few excellent systems available. What if you can save lets say $250 and get a 2.1 system for less than $50 and still have a decent system? Have you heard of the Cyber Acoustic...- melen1717

What computer speakers to get?
Yes... they are surprisingly very good for the money. The only negative, if you can call it that, is that the volume won't be "screamingly high" but for desktop speakers they will fit the job. If you are looking for "high end" desktop speakers I would suggest Audioengine A-5 powered speakers...- melen1717

Topping NX2 Portable DAC/Amp Impressions Thread
That's a good question. If the seller doesn't give you a solution or maybe a partial money back agreement, you should try the manufacture and see if it can be reaired. Can't think of any other solution.... good luck.- melen1717

Hello... WOW, that was a fast reply... I see what you mean. The hifimediy will provide me with all I need for a reasonable price.
