  1. If you are going to run it in wall you are "legally" (AS:3000) supposed to use wire for that purpose as the sheath or double shielding is required. But then in wall stuff is also supposed done by electricians.

    In terms of audio quality it will make bugger all difference.

    Are you sure that "legally" you need to use only double insulated cables for speaker wires?

    I think its more about the separation from LV cables.

    Not sure you need to be an electrician either.

  2. I went through this exact scenario nearly 7 years ago. I can't remember what gauge cables I used, 14 or 12. But they still work. I just bought a roll of stuff and off I went.

    Unfortunately later I decided to biwire my speakers so had to invent a way to run them after the fact anyway.

    Just remember, if you run one cable and want to run a different cable later, that's easy, just attach it to the old cable and pull it through :)

    So don't worry if it eventually gives out, it's easy to replace once you have it in there :)

    Sometimes lol

    If in doubt, install some conduit too, it'll make rerunning all the more easier later if needed.

  3. This is similar to the "which speakers should I buy"

    There will be some who believe without a doubt, that the most expensive 12AWG is the way to go and others who believe that cheapest is the way to go.

    Reality, it probably has more to do with what speakers you have and what type of listening you do.

    Sure, there will be subtle differences, but it will be different for different people. ie what tones etc you like.

    The only way to know for sure for you, would be to run some blind tests on your gear and see which you think is best.

    But given that means buying multiple types of cable its hardly worth it.

    Yes, cable can make a very small difference. Does that worry me? No, I have other random noises around me when I listen to anything.

    You probably wanted a definitive answer :) buy the one you can afford, connect it up and forget about it. The gear you have is probably going to be the biggest issue you have, not the cable.

    As far as insulation goes, I've not come across perishing insulation in speaker wires, but thats not to say it doesnt happen. I dont buy wire off Ebay, you're never sure youre going to get what you pay for.

  4. Probably depends on whether you have lost or damaged the remote or whether the product is faulty.

    If faulty, I'd be firm and request a replacement.

    You can get 'foxtel' remotes on ebay for about $30 but not sure how good they are.

    Or as Wheelz suggests, get a proper one and call it your own :)

  5. Spain 3-0

    Soccerroos need to find some goal scorers before the next world cup. We heavily rely on Cahill for points.

    Well done guys, result is what I expected, the fight you showed to get there was better than I'd expected.

  6. Much as I would love it to be different, think Spain tomorrow 2-1.......

    I think youre being generous as they will be without Cahill.

    But maybe with the pressure off they we play a more attacking style and surprise some people. (me included)

  7. one can only hope..............

    here is some of them at practice..........

    Lol :) yes thats them, but I think half the teams at the world cup could win a gold medal in the pool.
