Speaker cable

We'll see, when they eventually get round to installing fibre and the drop outs disappear.

And yet here I am with 100 drop outs yesterday. Numerous engineers can't find the fault. Everything's been repaired or replaced from box on the street to router (all electrical).

Obviously BT engineers don't know how their systems work, otherwise they'd be able to find the fault.

They absolutely do know how their systems work.

But what you describe sounds like it may be RFI related, and the source of that could be anywhere between the DSLAM and you.

Such a fault would usually result in an SFI (Special Faults Investigation) Engineer being requested who have the specialist knowledge, equipment and time to sniff out the sources of RFI.

I'd question why your ISP has let it go on for so long without escalating it/requesting an SFI visit from Openreach

That Pentacon plug may require soldering skills just above my capability/patience levels these days!

I use a soldering tool kit myself, even so, it's a challenge, my eyes not as they use to be!

Do we need a new thread - BT Broadband - maybe?

Where is the fumes extractor air handling unit?

Ah..... Going to check on Temu now 😄

The cable mounted socket was worse!
I know what you mean.
When I was a 'boy' in his twenties, I always wondered why a co-worker in his seventies needed his bench light to be so close to his soldering work - when the workshop was already full of fluorescent light.
Now, as I approach his age....I understand why 😕

And, back then, the only fume extractors were our lungs.
Mind you, I'm still using leaded solder with no fume extraction - just try to avoid breathing it in 🤪

 

[Revolutions]

I love changing caps on my guitar amps with the leaded solder.

Yes, they are quite efficient at that 🚭

In the meantime basic 500 strand speaker cables continue to impress. So far nothing fazes them.

Oh yeah cable power!
My faux Nordost (Odin, Valhalla 2 etc.). Mogami and Chord cabling make my HiFi sing!
Look at all that dust! 🙂

14 or 12 gauge speaker cable is all you need. You aint going to hear any difference 😀

You just wait Mr sceptic.
One day, someone wearing a blindfold, will repeatedly and accurately report whether they are listening to cable A or B.

(They could make a fortune selling tickets to that event).

Looking at that supertweeter cable you really are going to have to reverse the cable judging by the directional arrow..... 🙂

The spade and banana plugs cables came the wrong way round. 😂
I guess I never know but not sure it really makes that much of a difference?
Those external ribbon tweeters compliment the Oberon 3s with an extra zest.

If it hasn't happened yet it never will. All the evidence is against it.

 

[GroeneLeeuw]

The guy that sells cables(probably expensive) for a living wants you to hear differences.

Missed the excitement again!

Pure coincidence, honestly. Been out with the dog (she who must be obeyed!) for the last 150-odd minutes.

Funnily enough I got sent a notification of your comments - something about a debate and I might not like "foreigners" - untrue. Seems to have disappeared now?

Is that a Chinese delicacy? Wouldn't fancy it myself 😊

I did a double take when I read about SWMBO, then I realised you did in fact mean your dog!
