What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

[KenM10759]

Bought a pair of KEF Q300 and had them drop-shipped to my brother in Durham NC. I was hoping to upgrade the B&W DM302 Prism series bookshelf speakers he's been using, and it appears I was successful. He reports "wow."

Bought a cheap (in price and quality) 'region-free' DVD player. And Season 7 of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, a PAL region 4 import. Player works (sort of). Wonder if expensive players like OPPO will play discs from all regions?

For some odd reason Amazon sells the first 6 seasons in region 1 (USA) but not the last! Weird.

Bought this gadget to repair a scratch caused by my 'new' DVD player. The gadget actually worked.

I think everyone knows about my Ultras by now, but I've been hitting more sub forums and it belongs here anyway.

The box they come packaged in, which second as speaker stands.

Do the Ultras not come with a shorting bar/bracket of some sort to connect the terminals?

They do. I read a lot of folks use speaker wire instead of the jumpers and I have plenty. I don't think it sounds any better, but it looks a little cooler.

Thank you! I didn't go all out on connectors and wire. I got the plugs on eBay, though they look out of stock now. They do work nice. There are 2 screws to hold the wires inside and they fit good and tight. The wire is just plain old 14 awg Home Depot variety.

Just picked this up on EBay...

They're the same as the Nakamichi ones.

You can go with wire between the binding posts, you don't need the second set of connectors.

Retro! I don't think I have a single cassette left. I had a ton of them when I was a teenager, many moons ago.

Garcia, I thought they were the same but I wasn't sure. I know I don't need the connectors for the bridge. I had the extra plugs and was in the groove, so I just went ahead and ran with it. The connectors look cool and it adds a little wow factor when my buddies come over. lol

Think they're also the same as the Sewell Silverbacks what with the two set screws...

I picked this up from Amazon for $20 Cdn. Most of my pops playing vinyl are static electricity buildup and I don't want to use disc washer fluid everytime I want to play an album. I'm hoping this will do the trick.
