Anyone? What's good an inexpensive? Or, what can I use as an alternative? Can I use three runs of Radio Shack RG-6 Coax?


Peace Out~:D

    Ron,
    Absolutely... it's what I have in progress for a 35' run. Only issue I had was soldering the core wire. Tended to soften the RCA terminations' telfon insulator around the center post of the IC and leave it off-center. But once I noticed what was happening, I was able to easily re-center them before the insulator reset.

    Other thing I found was after buying RCA's with springs to help support the coax, they would not fit. Reverted to using some heat shrink tubing to add support.
    More later,
    Tour...

    Great cable for a great price. I have some running to my projector and I'll have to say it is fabulous...

    It's like DIY cable but you don't have to DIY. All you have to do is order it.

    Hope this helps!

    Not bad prices, and Belden and Canare cables. Jesus, another one to try!

    To avoid yet another DIY project, I think I'll order up the AR's from PE.com.

    Thanks Russ for the find.
