I have the 5 speakers still sitting in a bedroom closet not being used, but the sub is in a landfill somewhere. -Nigel

Appreciate all the info. I replaced the cables long ago with higher end cables I had. I used to work at an audio video shop many years ago. I too thought something was odd that the rear channel went out but when I switched audio cables, sound card and ever tried a completely different...

Dumb question but can the Klipsch speakers be run on a normal AV receiver? I just threw out the subwoofer because my entire rear channel was gone and the sub was sitting in my closet for years.. If there is use for the 5 speakers, I'll keep them, but if not I guess those will go in the trash...

Could you provide us with what monitor stand(s)/mounts that you are using by chance? I love this setup! Thanks much, -Nigel

Gainesville, VA. I see you are in DC, you're about 35-40 mins from me. Feel free to come up to my house and pick it up if you want it... I've been working from home all week doing training, so were here..lol -Nigel

Can the universal optical drive cover work with the v350? Everywhere I look it doesn't appear so yet, I found this picture of someone who did it... Just wondering if anyone has done so? -Nigel

I'm cleaning my basement and found this tower... untouched, never used or installed anything in it, still has hardware box inside. I completely forgot I owned it... Now looking at it, it's just too large for me to do anything with it. I have a NAS device so there is no need for me to load...

Thank you for the information! This is very helpful and I have a couple of questions. I've never cloned a HD before, normally I just wipe and re-install. However, I have a laptop which has Mercedes Benz software on it which can not be re-activated. If the harddrive fails the laptop is...

Picked it up from Home Depot for $455, expensive but it definitely has proved to be quite useful in this diagnosis. -Nigel

Forgot to update. So everything is working great. Even terminated the outside line coming in so I can call Verizon and have them switch their ONT box to Ethernet rather than Coax since I don't want to use their router anymore. The one cable I thought was broke earlier isn't. I ended up...

Sweet appreciate it! I'm in Virginia. So after crimping the connector and punch down to one of the rooms I get zero indicator lights... I'm pissed cause it's in the bedroom so running a new cable is out of the question unless I start ripping drywall up. I did use a tone tool on the one cat5...

Everything I do is the 568B standard, never the 568A. So when I started terminating the ends naturally I started doing all B. I haven't use A in such a long time that when I first looked at how it was wired in my house I was like they did it wrong...lol Call it old habit I guess but I just...

Wanted to ask before I either changed everything or keep it the same. I have multiple cat5e runs in my house. The ones I wired are the 568B standard. The ones that the builder did before I bought the house are 586A standard. My question silly as it is... Most patch panel cables are 568B...

I don't think water would be an issue of getting inside the box.since it would be covered. I could always seal the exterior of the distro box which I think would be best in this case, just as another layer of protection. Hell, looking at how they did the phone line the technician just twisted...

Yep, that was exactly what I was going to do. I already have the small 3' cable that I terminated on the ONT box on the left, I just wasn't sure if a coupler would be the best solution here. I thought about soldering the ends but I can't imagine that being good for the signal or it would...
