Recently I purchased Magnum Dynalab MD-90 with their antenna ST-2.

Tuner Mannual says you should use RG6 cable for better reception, while their antenna came with RG59U cable.:eek:

Please advise where can I get this RG6 wire with F connector

Any brand which is good or better over the other
Thanks

    Difference between RG6 and RG58/59 is the thickness of the center conductor. For longer spans or runs, I'd go with the thicker center conductor, thus the recomendation for RG6. You should be able to buy RG6 by the foot at your local hardware store. If you want something fast, Lowes has the Zenieth (sp?) series of HDTV products and they sell Quad-Shielded RG6 wire w/ the high quality F-Connectors (not the cheap crimp on kind).

    Tape - If you only need a moderate length, ,8 ft., let me know. I can custom cut you a chunk and crimp you nicely. I honestly find no value in upgraded cable coaxial, and I have tried a few. Just get RG6 rated cable, and sleep well.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Thanks Dorokusai

    Actualy as advised I went to CC and found it right there in TVs section, made by Terk.

    Possibly I was too quick to ask this qs. here without checking anywhere, now I can see it where ever I go.

    And yes it didnt make any diff. possibly its good for longer length.

    Thanks again to everybody for helping me.
    Thanks
