As a newbie, it has been a journey to this point.
As the title says "Not to be unprofessional". However, my newly aquired I/C cable on my SDA's is phasing lika a Moo Foo.

Thanks all for the assistance, input and help.

    They used phasers all the time on Star Trek but I don't think they were Moo Foo phasers. I think they were the professional models. :)

    If you hooked them up backwards it would be Foo Moo. Which could lead to bad JuJu.

    Nope, the cable works fine, Thank You Jake.
    Evidently, I offended some with my comments/excitement how good my speakers now sound.
    Once again, my apologies

    Don't think you offended anyone but it was good for a chuckle or three.

    What was causing the problem and what actually did you have to do to get it working. Would be good to know in case someone else has a similar problem.

    Perhaps you mean "imaging like a Moo Foo" instead of "phasing"?

    Glad you've got it working.

    After being oblivious to the meaning of this thread for a while, agfrost has helped me to understand...I think.

    Not sure what "Not to be unprofessional" means, but...

    There never was an issue with the cable. The new cable was "imaging" like a Moo Foo, which is a good thing.

    "Thanks for the assistance, input, and help" is simply thanking everyone who has already helped him in his brief audio journey.


    So, to oldrocker, congrats on the cable. Glad you're enjoying it.

    To all of you who have contributed with "Moo Foo" jokes, thanks for the laughs.

    I remember the first time I heard SDA , I thought about it all that week
    could not get it off my mind and the
    following Saturday I bought the 2.3 TLS.
