black towers have damping also? try one dome tweeter for black tower with 1mcroF maybe one bass driver with 100

do not keep electric supply so close to tape deck. it has very strong magnetic fields.

levin (levin) 2013-09-04 06:11:02 +0500 #111

speaker magnets also have magnetc fields.. keep them away

basic (Nadeem Nabi) 2013-09-09 15:51:32 +0500 #112

@levin

thanks for suggestion

these towers have some crossover in them,
i don't know how to assess damping?

basic (Nadeem Nabi) 2013-09-09 15:53:43 +0500 #113

i am sure you will not find good jack and cable in FSD but chinese only
i have original Professional phone plugs Neutrik np2cm-b (made in liechtenstein)
check specs and review about it
NP3C/B - Neutrik

khurram_aziz (khurram_aziz) 2013-09-14 18:03:42 +0500 #119

Exactly; chinese crap mostly...

Managed to find some good RCA patch cables and a 1/4" to RCA pair...got few 1/4" patch cables from ion.com.pk guys in Karachi...They stock PROEL cables! ION are nice folk; its just that one should first confirm the availability before placing the order. Prices are higher; but then not much options I guess! Here is what I ordered few weeks back!

Sorry for cluttering the thread!

YamahaYB100 (Ali) 2013-09-15 21:45:14 +0500 #120

Proel is also China but selling as Italy made, no availability issue but from the website you buy they also get it from a local market and confirms yours order
I have direct dealing with proel importer but i buy only cable and xlr jacks
how much you paid for that cable?
