    AV Equipment & Insurance

    Has anyone insured media yet? I approached my insurers about my CD collection when I still had them, & they said I would have to insure them as collectables. I'm not sure what would have been involved - I decided to rather sell them.

    AV Equipment & Insurance

    very key aspect. having empty oem packaging you can show goes a long way to keeping insurers happy. randomly borrowing oem packaging to pad your claim is frowned upon.😆

    Short Left to Achim"s

    thanks achim - i think @Hein really outdid himself with those(y) stands. the bullies came like that with the black noses, no red ones. the syntar 300s are great budget 3 way bookshelfs - i have been using them for my tv with a little wadia powerdac.

    Short Left to Achim"s

    a quick, & very unqualified observation. it took me quite a while to get the bullies to where i am now satisfied with the sound. the final step along the way, which really, to my surprise, made a very significant improvement was moving from a set of stands with a flat top surface, to a set of...

    Sennheiser 280 PRO

    i haven't tried a whole lot of iems so no really strong opinions. i have tried a couple of campfire products : - andromeda v1 original - andromeda stainless - andromeda v2 - cascara - ponderosa - bonneville although i enjoyed the bonneville initially to the point that i was tempted to buy...

    Effect Audio- In-ear monitor cables.

    my iems came bundled with alo audio reference 8 cables - i never really felt the need to try any alternatives, other than using the original campfire cables when using a 3.5mm source.
