Klipsch ProMedia owners - Make your own speaker cables!

I just followed these tonight and the results are outstanding. My old standard wires were incredibly flaky; they would cut in and out if not positioned just right. I considered purchasing the speaker wire replacement kit from Monster cable for $30, but found this site instead.

I had extra speaker wire and a soldering iron already, so all I bought were two mini-plug connectors for $4 a piece at Radioshack (you can probably find them for even cheaper online). A bit of solder here and there, and now I have great tight sound from my ProMedia 2.1s!

Next step is to pick up an Envy-based soundcard to replace this onboard SoundStorm.

Soundstorm rocks! I wouldn't trade it up for a Envy, unless it was so I would be using when upgrading to A64.

Ratshack. haha. Teh noes! Partsexpress rocks. Order one of thier catalogs.

Impatience got the better of me.

The only problem is Partsexpress has high s/h charges especially if you order cheap items like plugs and cables.

You don't think I would notice a difference in sound quality with an Envy card?
