Ghetto cables
I use Kimber 8TC (long 25' runs) and I like it, provided you can find it for a reasonable price. I cant recall what I paid for mine (used), but it was sub $5/ft. I've also used 4TC and liked it, but wanted heavier guage. The sleeper, though hard to find, is the Kimber 4/8VS wire... same stuff, just not teflon insulated. I much prefer spades to either bare wire or bananas as well. Bare wire could lead to shorts over time if you're not careful. I've never used the Eichmanns, but they seem somewhat fragile.

The Killing
^ Confirmed that AMC is killing The Killing, though I know in an interview that Joel Kinnaman (Holder) had stated that he would pay to make Season 3 himself... But we have Walking Dead oh joy

How to get music from iphone to car
I agree on intent to be helpful. I would suggest to the newb that they read and digest their welcome PM. Necro-bumping threads seems to be a good way for a newb to invoke das banstick...

Probably not. GR would be preferred because of the higher hFe (not sure why)? Note: hFE (1) classification O: 70~140, Y: 120~240, GR: 200~400 Not sure who the preferred Euro suppliers are. I see Dalbani has them in GR: http://www.dalbani.com/CGI-BIN/LANSAWEB?WEBEVENT+L062A634E589221006B28003+M36+ENG

Let me see what I have laying around... I don't know what shipping would be like, but Mouser has the Fairchild version of these for 7 cents apiece, or 3.7 cents in 100. Unfortunately, they don't have the GR grade in the C1815 NPN. http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Fairchild-Semiconductor/KSA1015YTA/?qs=ljbEvF4DwONgdKizIuxI5UKMGOiR5dCFrGZORl6qhPg%3d http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Fairchild-Semiconductor/KSC1815YTA/?qs=ljbEvF4DwOPz7O2KUMOsr34RMcYiO0wN MCM has them for 5 cents: http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/2SA1015 http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/2SC1815

The picture looks fine (from what I remember). For $3, you aren't risking much. Test them for sure.

RIP Ernest Borgnine
RIP. Yep, watched a lot of McHale's Navy, as well as Airwolf. I thought he was great in the Bruce Willis movie not that long ago (name escapes me) as well.

Diagnosing wiring problems.
You should be able to tell something with a meter by ohming out R (ring) to ground (sleeve) and L (tip) to ground. Not sure what you might see if it has a pot inline... I'm guessing the pot will be a constant impedance towards the source/amp. If you suspect the pot, get rid of it when you rewire. Playing around with existing wires that might be flaky is an exercise in futility....

Colorado Springs Wildfires, don't let this happen to you.
Sucks. Best wishes to you and all out there.

For the 4.7uf caps, I don't think polypropylene is required. I believe the std. cap for this is a Wima MKS. As you discovered, polypropylene in 4.7uf will be large.
