Look at some of the epoxy sealed modules on the expensive stuff and see what's inside. Will folks (including me) never learn?
OMG I'm gonna kill VideoLogic...
Opened up the stock XLR 4-pin connectors of the Satellite Speaker cables of VideoLogic Sirocco Pro in an effort to find out how they are wired (wanted to upgrade the speaker cables), and lordy, oh lordy, VideoLogic actually used mains power cables (3-conductors) for their 4-pin XLR Speaker Cables in their top-of-the-line Sirocco Pros!
Pin #3 & #4 are jumpered on the speaker connector's end, and thus, share a common ground (-ve). WTF?
I knew they had to cut corners somewhere to deliver something this good for US$900, but mains wire as speaker wire? WTF?
Argh! Now I must definitely upgrade the cables...
Knowledge is pain; revel in ignorance forever...
