| Interconnects and non-believers This again?! I hate that my beloved hobby has been reduced to a pathetic red/blue argument. You love your expensive cables/lamp cord is all you need. Great. Now go listen to some music. | |
| Stay away from the nad "I call it disposal electronics. I mentioned C275 and two C356's, but I forgot to mention M3 on which display went dead (but it did work)."I'm sure it's frustrating, but why keep buying them if they keep breaking? At some point it's on you, no? | |
